Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mechanical parking device, and is particularly characterized by a power supply unit that supplies power to a charging tray. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, electric vehicles have begun to become popular. There are various types of electric vehicles, including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) that run purely on a battery and motor, and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) that use a combination of an internal combustion engine, a battery, and a motor, and whose batteries can be charged from an external charging station, requiring external charging of the batteries.

[0003] Some vehicle models are capable of rapid charging in addition to standard charging, but in either case, it takes a long time to charge the battery, so there is a growing demand for mechanical parking systems that are equipped with facilities that allow charging while the vehicle is parked.

[0004] There are several types of mechanical parking devices, including those in which vehicles are placed on trays and transported to a storage room, where the transported trays circulate within the storage room; those that are stored on storage shelves and do not move; and vertical circulation types in which charging rails are installed vertically.However, some of these charging means use complex mechanisms for the means for supplying power to the trays, or have different charging and circulation positions so that the trays cannot be moved unless they are returned to the circulation position, which increases manufacturing costs and causes inconvenience in operating the mechanical parking device.

[0005] For example, Patent Document 1 describes a mechanical parking lot that includes a plurality of parking spaces and a pallet that can carry a vehicle and is movable between the parking spaces in a first direction and a second direction that intersects with the first direction, wherein at least one of the plurality of parking spaces is provided with a power supply terminal and the pallet is provided with a power receiving terminal, the power supply terminal and the power receiving terminal are connectable in the first direction, the power supply terminal is positioned so as not to come into contact with the power receiving terminal when the pallet moves in the second direction to the parking space where the power supply terminal is provided, and after the pallet moves to a stopping position within the parking space where the power supply terminal is provided, the pallet is further moved to a charging position on the power supply terminal side, and the power receiving terminal is brought into contact with the power supply terminal.

[0006] Furthermore, Patent Document 2 discloses a mechanical parking device that includes at least one charging pallet capable of carrying an electric vehicle, and that, when storing the charging pallet in a predetermined parking shelf, moves the charging pallet in a first direction to a predetermined parking position in the parking shelf, the mechanical parking device including: a plurality of first contacts that are provided in the parking shelf and connected to a power supply device; a plurality of second contacts that are provided at the end of the charging pallet in the first direction and in positions that can face the plurality of first contacts when the charging pallet is in the parking position, and that correspond to the plurality of first contacts; and a plurality of second contacts that are provided at the end of the charging pallet in the first direction and in positions that can face the plurality of first contacts when the charging pallet is in the parking position, the plurality of first contacts being connected to a power supply device; A mechanical parking device is described, comprising: a first moving mechanism that can displace the positions of multiple second contacts in the first direction relative to the charging pallet; a second moving mechanism that is separated from the first moving mechanism and can displace the positions of the multiple first contacts in a second direction that is approximately perpendicular to the first direction relative to the parking shelf or the positions of the multiple second contacts in the second direction relative to the charging pallet; and a guide mechanism that guides the relative movement of the multiple first contacts and the multiple second contacts in the second direction so that the multiple first contacts and the multiple second contacts face each other as the charging pallet moves in the first direction.

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6618261 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 6212607 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] However, in the mechanical parking lot described in Patent Document 1, the pallet must be moved from its circulating stop position to its charging position in the power supply parking space in order to connect the power receiving terminal on the pallet to the power supply terminal on the power supply unit in the power supply parking space. In other words, when a call operation is performed to enter or exit the parking space and the pallet is circulated, the pallet must be returned from its charging position in the power supply parking space to a stopping position where it can be circulated, which interrupts charging each time. Furthermore, the exposed current collectors and other components pose a risk of electric shock to workers during maintenance.

[0009] Furthermore, the mechanical parking device described in Patent Document 2 requires that the charging pallet be moved toward a shelf-side contact assembly, which includes a first moving mechanism, a second moving mechanism, etc., and that the pallet-side contact assembly be pressed against and brought into contact with the shelf-side contact assembly in order to charge. Furthermore, the shelf-side contact assembly has a complex structure that includes multiple moving mechanisms, and installing it on each of the multiple shelves increases manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the current collectors and other components are exposed, which poses a risk of electric shock to workers during maintenance.

[0010] The present invention aims to provide a mechanical parking device that allows charging while the tray is positioned in the stopped position when the mechanical parking device is in operation, thereby preventing electric shock accidents to workers during maintenance. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The mechanical parking device according to the first aspect is a mechanical parking device equipped with a storage room having a plurality of storage compartments for storing trays, and the storage compartments are configured to include a vertical and horizontal feed device that moves the tray vertically and horizontally, a power supply unit that is operatively connected to the vertical and horizontal feed device and has a power supply body that can take a supply position that supplies power to the power receiving unit of the tray and a non-supply position that does not supply power, and a cover that can take a position that covers at least the power supply of the power supply unit and a position that opens it, and in conjunction with the vertical and horizontal switching operation of the vertical and horizontal feed device, the cover can take a position that covers the power supply in the non-supply position and a position that opens the power supply in the supply position.

[0012] The mechanical parking device of the second aspect is a mechanical parking device of the first aspect, in which the power supply unit is operatively connected to a cam on the cover, and moves between the power supply position and the non-power supply position as the cover moves.

[0013] A mechanical parking device according to a third aspect is the mechanical parking device according to the first or second aspect, wherein the cover is connected to the longitudinal and lateral feed device by a link mechanism.

[0014] A mechanical parking device according to a fourth aspect is the mechanical parking device according to the first or second aspect, wherein the cover and the power supply body are insulated from each other.

[0015] A mechanical parking device according to a fifth aspect is the mechanical parking device according to the third aspect, wherein the cover and the power supply body are insulated from each other.

[0016] The mechanical parking device of the sixth aspect is a mechanical parking device of the first aspect, in which the vertical and horizontal feed device has horizontally rotating drive wheels that contact and drive the vertical feed rails or horizontal feed rails installed on the underside of the tray from below. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] According to the mechanical parking device of the first aspect, the cover that covers the power supply body of the power supply unit can prevent electric shock accidents for workers performing maintenance, etc., and no dedicated drive source is required to drive the cover.

[0018] According to the mechanical parking device of the second aspect, the power supplying portion can be brought into contact with the power receiving portion of the tray in conjunction with the opening movement of the cover.

[0019] According to the mechanical parking device of the third aspect, no dedicated drive unit is required to move the cover, and the cover can be moved and the supplying electrons can be brought into contact with and separated from the receiving electrons while the tray is parked in the storage compartment.

[0020] According to the mechanical parking devices of the fourth and fifth aspects, even if a worker performing maintenance or the like accidentally comes into contact with the cover, he or she will not receive an electric shock.

[0021] According to the mechanical parking device of the sixth aspect, the tray can be moved to the adjacent storage compartment immediately after the cover has been moved to close. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] An example of a vehicle guidance device for a mechanical parking device according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the storage section, in a plan view, the long side direction of the tray is referred to as the "longitudinal direction," the direction of a single side of the tray is referred to as the "short side direction," the position where the power supply unit is located is referred to as the "right side," and the opposite direction is referred to as the "left side." The direction in which the control panel is provided relative to the tray is referred to as the "right," the opposite side as the "left," the side of the entrance door 4 as the "front," and the opposite side as the "rear." Furthermore, although vehicle 40 is an electric vehicle, the present invention includes not only pure electric vehicles (BEVs) that run on only a battery and a motor, but also plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) that run on a combination of an internal combustion engine, a battery, and a motor.

[0024] <Embodiment> [Mechanical parking system] The overall configuration of a mechanical parking device 1 in this embodiment is shown in Figures 1 and 2. The mechanical parking device 1 has an entry / exit room 2 where vehicles M, including electric vehicles, enter and exit, and a storage room 3 where vehicles M are stored. In this embodiment, the storage room 3 is located below the entry / exit room 2 and is connected to it by a lifting device 4 that raises and lowers a tray.

[0025] [Storage Room] As shown in Figure 1, the storage room 3 has multiple storage compartments 5 arranged vertically and horizontally. The storage compartments 5 have multiple empty compartments where trays are not stored, allowing for horizontal circulation of the trays. A lifting device 4 that connects to the loading / unloading room 2 is located adjacent to one of the storage compartments 5. A control panel 60 that controls the operation of the mechanical parking device 1 is installed next to the lifting device 4.

[0026] (storage compartment) As shown in Fig. 3, the storage compartment 5 is a compartment that stores one tray 50 at a time, and the trays 50 are connected adjacent to each other so that they can move vertically and horizontally (see also Fig. 1). The storage compartment 5 is made up of a pair of vertical feed rails 6 and a pair of horizontal feed rails 7 assembled in a rectangular shape in a plan view.

[0027] A vertical / horizontal feed device 8 is installed in the storage compartment 5 along the longitudinal direction of the storage compartment 5, in the center of the shorter side. A pair of drive wheels 9 are provided on the vertical / horizontal feed device 8 at a distance from each other in the longitudinal direction of the storage compartment 5 so that they can rotate vertically and horizontally. As shown in FIG. 4 , the drive wheels 9 are mounted on a vertical / horizontal switchable member 11 that can rotate horizontally around an axis 10. The area between the pair of drive wheels 9 includes a vertical / horizontal switching motor 13 that switches the rotation direction of the pair of drive wheels 9 between vertical and horizontal by rotating horizontally around an axis 15, a vertical / horizontal switching member 14 that is mounted on the vertical / horizontal switching motor 13 so as to be horizontally rotatable, and a connecting member 16 that connects each free end of rotation of the vertical / horizontal switching member 14 to the free end of rotation of the vertical / horizontal switching member 11. The pair of drive wheels 9 are configured so that the rotation direction can be switched between the vertical feed direction and the horizontal feed direction by rotating the vertical / horizontal switching member 14 through the drive of the vertical / horizontal switching motor 13, and by pushing and pulling the connecting member 16 to rotate the vertical / horizontal switching member 11.

[0028] The drive wheels 9 rotate while pressing against vertical and horizontal rails (not shown) provided on the underside of the tray 50, thereby moving the tray 50 in the vertical direction, which is the length direction of the tray 50, or in the horizontal direction, which is the short side direction of the tray 50.

[0029] <Main components> [Overall configuration of main parts] Here, the configuration of the main part will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0030] [Relationship between power supply unit and movable structure] As shown in Figures 4 to 6, power supply unit 20 is installed inside a corner at one end of storage compartment 5. Cover 21 covers power supply body 40, which will be described later, and prevents workers performing maintenance work from accidentally receiving an electric shock. Cover 21 has a connecting base 24, to which first connecting member 25, second connecting member 26, and third connecting member 28 are connected, and third connecting member 28 is connected to vertical / horizontal switching member 11.

[0031] Specifically, in the cover 21, one end of a first connecting member 25 is connected to a connecting base 24 via a rotation shaft, the other end of the first connecting member 25 is connected via a rotation shaft to one end of a second connecting member 26 that is horizontally rotatable around a shaft 27 as the center of rotation, the other end of the second connecting member is connected via a rotation shaft to one end of a third connecting member 28, and the other end of the third connecting member 28 is connected to the vertical / horizontal switching member 11 via a shaft 12. The second connecting member 26 is bifurcated from the shaft 27, with one end of the bifurcated member connected to the first connecting member 25 and the other end of the bifurcated member connected to the third connecting member 28, both via rotation shafts.

[0032] In conjunction with the vertical / horizontal switching operation of the vertical / horizontal feed device 8, the cover 21 can take a position covering the power supply 44 (described later) when power is not supplied to the tray 50, or a position opening the power supply 44 when power is supplied to the tray 50. Specifically, the cover 21 is moved between a position covering the power supply unit 20 and a position opening the power supply 44 when power is supplied to the tray 50, in conjunction with the vertical / horizontal switching operation of the vertical / horizontal feed device 8. The cover 21 is operatively connected to a cam on the cover 21, and the movement of the cover 21 moves the power supply body 40 of the power supply unit 20 between the power supply position and the non-power supply position. FIG. 4 shows the state in which the cover 21 covers the power supply body 40, FIG. 5 shows the state in which the cover 21 begins to open in the direction of arrow A in conjunction with the switching operation of the vertical / horizontal feed device 8 in the direction of arrow A, and FIG. 6 shows the state in which the cover 21 is fully opened in the direction of arrow A when the switching operation of the vertical / horizontal feed device 8 in the direction of arrow A is completed. 6 and 7, the power supply element 40 is open, exposing the power supply element 44. The specific configuration will be described later.

[0033] [Power supply unit] The operation of power supply unit 20 will be specifically described with reference to FIGS.

[0034] The power supply unit 20 opens and closes the cover 21 via the above-mentioned link mechanism in conjunction with the vertical / horizontal switching operation of the vertical / horizontal feed device 8. In conjunction with the opening and closing of the cover 21, the power supply 44 provided on the power supply unit 40 moves between itself and the power receiving unit 52 provided on the power receiving unit 51 of the tray 50.

[0035] (covered) 8 and 11, the cover 21 is configured to include an upper plate that covers the power supply element 40, and two cover bases 21A (side plates) that extend downward from the longitudinal ends of the upper plate and cover both side surfaces of the power supply element 40, and a grooved cam 22 is formed on the cover base 21A. The grooved cam 22 is made up of a horizontal portion, a portion that slopes upward from the horizontal portion, and a horizontal portion that continues to the fully raised portion, so as to guide the cover 21 from the position where it covers the power supply element 40 to the position where the power supply element 40 rises.

[0036] The cover 21 also has a plurality of wheels 23 that can run on rail members 31 provided on the top of an installation member 30 that is supported by vertical feed rails 6 and beam members 17 on which the vertical and horizontal feed devices 8 are installed. The cover 21 also has an attachment portion 21C at the end of the cover base 21A opposite the position of the power supply 44, and a connecting base 24 is fixed thereto together with a reinforcing member 24A. A first connecting member 25 is connected to the connecting base 24 via a shaft 24B. A lift-up prevention member 29 that prevents the cover 21 from lifting up from the underside of the rail members 31 is provided near the wheels 23 of the cover base 21A.

[0037] In addition, the ends of the upper plate at the front and rear of the cover 21 in the direction of movement have raised portions 21B, which combine the function of reinforcing the upper plate and the function of preventing moisture dripping from the tray 50 from coming into contact with the electron supply 44.

[0038] (power feeder) The power supply body 40 is configured to include a swinging member 41 that can swing freely via a swinging shaft 42, which is located on the top of the power supply support member 32 that rises upward on the top surface of the rail member 31, a guided member 43 that is provided on the swinging member 41 and engages with the groove cam 22, and a power supply 44.

[0039] [Power receiving section] The power receiving unit 51 is provided on the underside of the tray 50 and has a power receiving unit 52 that is in contact with the power supply unit 44 to receive power. Although not shown, the power receiving unit 52 is connected by wiring to a power outlet for charging the vehicle M that is provided on the tray 50.

[0040] <Function of main parts> Here, the operation of the main parts will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 and 8 to 10. FIG.

[0041] First, when the tray 50 carrying the electric vehicle M stops in the storage compartment 5, the longitudinal and lateral feed device 8 shown in Fig. 4 rotates in the direction of arrow A shown in Fig. 5. The positions of the cover 21 and the power supply 44 shown in Fig. 8 correspond to those in Fig. 4, and the positions of the cover 21 and the power supply 44 shown in Fig. 9 correspond to those in Fig. 5.

[0042] FIG. 8 shows the initial state in which the cover 21 covers the electron supply 40 having the electron supply 44. In this state, the guided member 43 fixed to the swinging member 41 is located in the horizontal portion before the grooved cam 22 starts to move. When the vertical and horizontal feed device 8 begins to rotate in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. 5, the first connecting member 25 is pulled in the direction of arrow A, and the cover 21 moves in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. 9. Then, the guided member 43 of the swinging member 41 moves along the inclined portion above the grooved cam 22, pushing the swinging member 41 up in the direction of arrow B. Next, when the vertical and horizontal feed device 8 completes its rotation in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. 6, the guided member 43 of the swinging member 41 rises to the horizontal portion above the grooved cam 22, further moving the cover 21 in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIG. 10. This releases the electron supply 44 and pushes it up in the direction of arrow B, bringing it into contact with the electron receiver 52. The power supply unit 40 has a built-in biasing member (not shown) that biases the electron supply 44 upward, so that the electron supply 44 is pressed against the electron receiving unit 52. A position sensor (not shown) detects this state, and issues a command to supply power to the control panel 60. This charges the battery of the vehicle M, which is an electric vehicle placed on the tray 50.

[0043] In the mechanical parking device 1, when an entry / exit operation is performed and the tray 50 is moved over the storage compartment 5, the power supply command from the control panel 60 is temporarily interrupted in the state shown in Fig. 10, and the power supply is stopped. Then, the tray 50 is moved to the adjacent storage compartment 5. At this time, the electron supply 44 and the electron receiving 52 are three-phase and therefore each is divided into three, but as shown in Fig. 6, when the drive wheels 9 of the longitudinal and lateral feed device 8 are facing the lateral feed direction, the tray 50 is moved in the longitudinal direction of the electron supply 44 and the electron receiving 52, so the electron supply 44 does not need to swing down. On the other hand, when the tray 50 moves in the vertical feed direction, as shown in Fig. 4, the drive wheels 9 of the vertical / horizontal feed device 8 face in the vertical feed direction (facing the opposite direction to arrow A shown in Fig. 5), so that the electron supply 44 swings down and the covers 21 move in the opposite direction to the arrow A so as to cover the electron supply 44, and the electron supply 44 and the electron receiver 52 are positioned apart, thereby preventing interference with the vertical feed operation of the tray 50. Also, during maintenance, etc., by positioning all covers 21 so as to cover the electron supply 44, workers performing maintenance, etc., can be prevented from accidentally receiving an electric shock.

[0044] <Modification> Here, a modified example is shown in FIGS. 12 to 14. As shown in FIG. 12, the modified example differs in the shape of the cover 21. The upper plate of the cover 21 is configured to cover the electron supply 44, and the cover base 21A does not have the mounting portion 21C, and the connecting base 24 is fitted into the cover base 21A as a rotation axis. Furthermore, the electron supply support members 32 are two, spaced apart in the width direction of the swinging member 41, and are structured to further suppress tilting of the electron supply 44 to the left or right during swinging. Even in this configuration, the effects of this modified example are the same as those of the embodiment. Furthermore, the interlocking of the cover 21 and the electron supply 44 is the same as that of the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14.

[0045] In this way, the mechanical parking device of the present invention is a mechanical parking device 1 equipped with a storage room 3 having a plurality of storage compartments 5 for storing trays 50, and the storage compartments 5 are configured to include a vertical and horizontal feed device 8 for moving the trays 50 vertically and horizontally, a power supply unit 20 operatively connected to the vertical and horizontal feed device 8 and having a power supply body 40 that can take a supply position where it supplies power to the power receiving unit 51 of the tray 50 and a non-supply position where it does not supply power, and a cover 21 that can take a position where it covers at least the power supply 44 of the power supply unit 20 and a position where it opens it, and in conjunction with the vertical and horizontal switching operation of the vertical and horizontal feed device 8, the cover 21 can take a position where it covers the power supply 44 in the non-supply position and a position where it opens the power supply 44 in the supply position.

[0046] As a result, the cover 21 covering the power feeder 40 of the power feed unit 20 can prevent electric shock accidents to workers during maintenance, etc., and a dedicated drive source for driving the cover 21 is not required.

[0047] The power supply unit 20 is operatively connected to a cam provided on the cover 21, and moves between the power supply position and the non-power supply position as the cover 21 moves.

[0048] This allows the power supply 44 of the power supply unit 20 to come into contact with the power receiving unit 52 of the tray 50 in conjunction with the opening movement of the cover 21.

[0049] The cover 21 is connected to the longitudinal and lateral feed device 8 by a link mechanism.

[0050] This eliminates the need for a dedicated drive unit for moving the cover 21, and allows the cover 21 to be moved and the electron supply 44 to be brought into contact with and separated from the electron receiver 52 while the tray 50 is left parked in the storage compartment 5.

[0051] Furthermore, the cover 21 and the power feeder 40 are insulated from each other.

[0052] This prevents a worker performing maintenance or the like from receiving an electric shock even if he or she accidentally touches the cover 21.

[0053] The vertical and horizontal feed device 8 also has horizontally rotating drive wheels 9 that contact and drive the vertical feed rails 6 or the horizontal feed rails 7 installed on the underside of the tray 50 from below.

[0054] This allows the tray to be moved to the adjacent storage compartment immediately after the cover 21 has been closed.

[0055] The above describes embodiments and modifications of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the description in the specification or drawings, and it goes without saying that other aspects, modifications, or improvements of the present invention are included in the technical scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0056] For example, although the power supply unit 20 has been described as being provided at one corner of the storage compartment 5, this is not limiting, and a power supply unit 20 may be added to the other diagonal side of the storage compartment 5.

[0057] In addition, the number of storage compartments 5 having power supply units 20 may be set to an appropriate number depending on the number of cars that can be accommodated by the mechanical parking device 1, and may be half or one-third of the total number of cars that can be accommodated.
