Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technology of a three-dimensional parking device.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, as a device for effectively using limited space and parking more vehicles, a mechanical three-dimensional parking device is known. A three-dimensional parking device is a device for three-dimensionally parking a plurality of vehicles, and mainly includes a plurality of pallets that are arranged to be movable up and down inside a frame structure, and a gate that opens and closes an entrance / exit for the vehicle to enter and exit the pallet. Further, the above-mentioned entrance / exit is a part of the frame structure and is provided at a predetermined layer (for example, the ground floor layer) of the three-dimensional parking device. The gate is configured to open and close the entrance / exit mainly by being moved up and down by a lifting device (for example, refer to "Patent Document 1").

[0003] When parking a vehicle in a three-dimensional parking device having such a configuration, first, the gate is opened and the vehicle is stored through the entrance / exit, and the vehicle is loaded onto the pallet. Next, the gate is closed and the pallet loaded with the vehicle is moved up and down to a predetermined layer. By repeating the above steps, a plurality of vehicles are arranged in a predetermined layer in a state of being loaded on each pallet and parked three-dimensionally.

[0004] In addition, as such a mechanical three-dimensional parking device, a puzzle-type three-dimensional parking device is also known in which each pallet not only moves up and down but also has a function of moving horizontally.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] By the way, such a multi-story parking device is generally controlled to immediately enter a non-operable emergency stop state when an unexpected disaster such as a fire or an earthquake occurs. In addition, in the floor where the entrance and exit of the multi-story parking device are provided (for example, the first floor above ground), for security reasons, in a state where the gate is closed, it is impossible to enter the device by a person or insert the nozzle of a fire extinguisher etc. to such an extent that the area excluding the entrance and exit on the side surface of the multi-story parking device is often surrounded by a partition such as a fence.

[0007] Therefore, in a conventional multi-story parking device, for example, when a fire occurs inside the device in a state where the entrance and exit are closed by a gate, it is difficult to open the gate due to the emergency stop state, and since it is blocked by the above-mentioned partition, it is difficult for a firefighter to enter the device or insert the nozzle of a fire extinguisher etc. on the above-mentioned floor, resulting in a delay in the fire extinguishing activity at the initial stage and a risk of the damage caused by the fire in the multi-story parking device spreading.

[0008] The present invention has been made in view of the above-described current problems, and is a multi-story parking device including a plurality of pallets arranged to be movable up and down and an enclosure surrounding the periphery of the plurality of pallets, and for parking a vehicle by mounting the vehicle on each pallet, and provides a multi-story parking device that can be easily accessed from the outside of the multi-story parking device to the inside of the device even when a fire occurs inside the device, for example, and enables a fire extinguishing activity at the initial stage.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] The problems to be solved by the present invention are as described above. Next, means for solving these problems will be described.

[0010] That is, the multi-story parking apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes a plurality of pallets that can be lifted and lowered, and an enclosure that surrounds the periphery of the plurality of pallets, and is a multi-story parking apparatus for mounting and parking a vehicle on each of the pallets. The enclosure includes a gate that opens and closes an entrance / exit for a vehicle to enter and exit the pallet, a partition wall that surrounds the area excluding the entrance / exit, and an opening means for manually opening a part of the gate and / or a part of the partition wall. The opening means includes an opening that opens a part of the gate and / or a part of the partition wall, a panel member that closes the opening, and can be displaced by manual operation to a fastening position where it is in a fastened state and a fastening release position where the fastened state is released, and a manual fastening member that fixes the panel member to the periphery of the opening. In a state where the panel member is fixed by the manual fastening member, it further includes a sealing seal that fixes and seals the manual fastening member to the panel member. With such a configuration, according to the multi-story parking apparatus of the present invention, even if a fire breaks out inside the apparatus, for example, a part of the gate and / or a part of the partition wall can be opened by the opening means, and it is possible to easily access the inside of the multi-story parking apparatus from the outside. Therefore, firefighters can enter the inside of the apparatus, or a nozzle of a fire extinguisher or the like can be inserted, and fire extinguishing activities can be immediately carried out at an early stage. Therefore, compared with the conventional multi-story parking apparatus, it is possible to prevent the spread of damage caused by a fire and further improve safety.

[0011] In addition, in the aspect 2 of the present invention, the three-dimensional parking apparatus, in the above aspect 1, the manual fastening member is composed of a round bar-shaped member having a latching portion at the tip end, and a male fitting that is movably attached in the axial direction to the panel member, and a female fitting that has a hole portion through which the male fitting can be inserted and latched from the latching portion side and is fixed to a part of the gate and / or a part of the partition wall. The fastening position is a position where the male fitting is inserted into the hole portion of the female fitting and the male fitting is latched to the female fitting via the latching portion, and the fastening release position is a position where the male fitting is pulled out from the hole portion of the female fitting and the latching state with the female fitting is released. This is the feature. By having such a configuration, according to the three-dimensional parking apparatus of the present invention, a manual fastening member can be constructed by a simple mechanism without separately providing a complicated mechanism.

[0012] In addition, the three-dimensional parking apparatus according to aspect 3 of the present invention includes a plurality of pallets that are arranged to be movable up and down, and an enclosure that surrounds the plurality of pallets. It is a three-dimensional parking apparatus in which a vehicle is mounted on each of the pallets and parked. The enclosure includes a gate that opens and closes an entrance / exit for a vehicle to enter and exit the pallet, partitions located only on the left and right sides and the rear side of the gate, and opening means for manually opening a part of the gate and / or a part of the partition wall. This is the feature. By having such a configuration, according to the three-dimensional parking apparatus of the present invention, even when a fire breaks out inside the apparatus, for example, a part of the gate and / or a part of the partition wall can be opened by the opening means, and it is possible to easily access the inside of the three-dimensional parking apparatus from the outside. Therefore, firefighters can enter the inside of the apparatus, or a nozzle of a fire extinguisher or the like can be inserted, and fire extinguishing activities can be immediately carried out at the initial stage. Therefore, compared with the conventional three-dimensional parking apparatus, it is possible to prevent the spread of damage caused by a fire and further improve safety.

[0013] In the above-described Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 3, the partition wall surrounds the periphery of a plurality of pallets together with the gate. For example, in a multi-story parking device arranged on the ground, a fence or the like provided on the side surface of the device can be cited as an example. Also, in a multi-story parking device arranged in a building or underground, although such a fence or the like is usually not provided, a building or a basement wall surface located close to the side surface of the device can be cited as an example. That is, the multi-story parking device according to the present invention conceptually includes multi-story parking devices arranged either on the ground or underground. Also, "manually opening a part of the gate" conceptually includes forcibly operating a part of the gate by manual operation. For example, it includes cases where a very manual operation button is pressed to forcibly operate the gate in a controlled manner, or cases where an operation handle or the like provided separately is operated to mechanically force the operation.

[0014] Further, the multi-story parking device according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention, in the above-described Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 3, the opening means includes an opening for opening a part of the gate and / or a part of the partition wall, and a panel member formed of any one of a calcium silicate board, a gypsum board, or an acrylic board made of a resin member, and closing the opening. By having such a configuration, according to the multi-story parking device of the present invention, for example, when a fire breaks out inside the device, the panel member can be destroyed by kicking it manually or the like, and a part of the gate and / or a part of the partition wall can be immediately opened. Therefore, it is possible to more easily access the inside of the multi-story parking device from the outside of the device, and the fire extinguishing activity at the initial stage can be immediately carried out.

[0015] In addition, in the three-dimensional parking apparatus according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention, in the above-described Embodiment 3, the opening means includes an opening that opens a part of the gate and / or a part of the partition wall, and a panel member made of a material having higher strength than a calcium silicate board, a gypsum board, and an acrylic board made of a resin member, and closes the opening, and a hinge that supports the panel member so as to be openable and closable from the periphery of the opening, and a special lock that is held in a non-unlockable state during normal times and can be unlocked only by manual operation in an emergency. With such a configuration, according to the three-dimensional parking apparatus of the present invention, in an emergency such as a fire occurring inside the apparatus, for example, by simply unlocking the special lock by manual operation, the panel member can be opened, and a part of the gate and / or the partition wall can be immediately opened. Therefore, it is possible to more easily access the inside of the three-dimensional parking apparatus from the outside of the apparatus, and the fire extinguishing activity in the initial stage can be immediately carried out.

Effects of the Invention

[0016] As effects of the present invention, the following effects are achieved. That is, according to the three-dimensional parking apparatus of the present invention, even when a fire occurs inside the apparatus, for example, it is possible to easily access the inside of the apparatus from the outside of the three-dimensional parking apparatus, and by immediately carrying out the fire extinguishing activity in the initial stage, the spread of damage caused by the fire can be prevented, and the safety can be further improved.

[0018] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10. For the following description, for convenience, the side where the entrance / exit 13 of the multi-story parking apparatus 1 is provided is defined as the front side, and the front-back direction, left-right direction, and up-down direction of the multi-story parking apparatus 1 and the release mechanism sections 40·140·240·340 are defined and described according to the direction of the arrows shown in FIGS. 1 to 10.

[0019] [Overall Configuration of the Multi-story Parking Apparatus 1] First, the overall configuration of the multi-story parking apparatus 1 embodying the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1 in the present embodiment is a mechanical three-dimensional parking apparatus that parks a plurality of vehicles W, W,... three-dimensionally. By arranging each vehicle W in the storage spaces S, S,... provided in multiple layers respectively, this apparatus parks these multiple vehicles W, W,... simultaneously. The three-dimensional parking apparatus 1 mainly includes a frame structure 10 that forms the skeleton of the apparatus body, a plurality of pallets 20, 20,... arranged to be movable up and down inside the frame structure 10, and an enclosure 30 that surrounds the periphery of these multiple pallets 20, 20,...

[0021] The frame structure 10 has a plurality of columns 11, 11,... erected in parallel at a predetermined interval, and a plurality of beam members 12, 12,... arranged between adjacent columns 11, 11 and connecting these two members 11, 11. For example, in the present embodiment, it is configured as a three-story structure. Each column 11 is made of a member having sufficient rigidity to support the load acting on the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1. For example, in the present embodiment, H-shaped steel is adopted.

[0022] Note that the number of layers constituted by the frame structure 10 is not limited to the present embodiment. For example, it may be configured as a two-story structure or a structure with four or more stories.

[0023] Also, in the present embodiment, the frame structure 10 is arranged such that the first layer F1 corresponding to the first floor is located in the underground space V, and the second layer F2 and the third layer F3 corresponding to the second floor and above are located on the ground. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the first layer F1 and the second layer F2 may be located in the underground space V, and only the third layer F3 may be located on the ground. Also, the entire frame structure 10 may be arranged to be located in the underground space V or on the ground.

[0024] Inside the frame structure 10, a plurality (three locations in this embodiment) of storage spaces S·S·S capable of storing each vehicle W are provided for each floor. Also, at a predetermined floor (the second floor F2 located on the first floor above ground in this embodiment) on the front side of the frame structure 10, a plurality (three locations in this embodiment) of entrances and exits 13·13·13 for the entry and exit of the vehicle W with respect to each pallet 20 are provided as a part of the frame structure 10. Specifically, each entrance and exit 13 is constituted by the space between the columns 11·11 arranged adjacent to each other on the front side of the frame structure 10.

[0025] The pallet 20 is for mounting each vehicle W and moving it to a predetermined position to park the vehicle W. It is respectively arranged in each storage space S inside the frame structure 10 and is configured to be movable up and down by a lifting means (not shown).

[0026] When parking (storing) the vehicle W in the multi-story parking device 1, the lifting means moves the pallet 20 without the vehicle W mounted to the second floor F2, allows the vehicle W to enter and mount on the pallet 20 through a predetermined entrance and exit 13, and then moves the pallet 20 to a predetermined position again. Also, when taking out the vehicle W parked in the multi-story parking device 1, the lifting means moves the pallet 20 with the desired vehicle W mounted to the second floor F2, allows the vehicle W to drive out from the pallet 20 through a predetermined entrance and exit 13, and then moves the pallet 20 to a predetermined position again.

[0027] Note that the configuration of the pallet 20 is not limited to this embodiment. For example, like the pallet provided in a puzzle-type multi-story parking device, it may be configured to be movable up and down and horizontally by a predetermined driving means.

[0028] The enclosure part 30 separates the inside and the outside of the multi-story parking device 1 (more specifically, the frame structure 10), and mainly includes a gate 31, a partition wall 32, an opening mechanism part 40, and the like.

[0029] The gate 31 is provided at each of a plurality of entrances and exits 13·13·13 provided in the frame structure 10, for example, and opens and closes each entrance and exit 13. As shown in FIG. 2, the gate 31 has a gate body 31A and a gate moving device 31B for moving the gate body 31A.

[0030] The gate body 31A includes, for example, a gate frame 31A1 formed in a rectangular frame shape, a plurality of first panel members 31A2·31A2, second panel members 31A3·31A3, and third panel members 31A4·31A4·31A4·31A4 arranged to close the inner peripheral side of the gate frame 31A1, and a guide mechanism portion 31A5 provided on the outer peripheral side of the gate frame 31A1.

[0031] And the gate body 31A is arranged at each entrance and exit 13 so as to be orthogonal to the entry / exit direction of the vehicle W (see FIG. 1) (in the front-rear direction in this embodiment) and parallel to the vehicle width direction of the vehicle W (in the left-right direction in this embodiment), and is configured to be able to open and close each entrance and exit 13 by moving (lifting) in the vertical direction by the gate moving device 31B.

[0032] Note that the moving direction of the gate body 31A by the gate moving device 31B is not limited to the vertical direction as in this embodiment, and may be the vehicle width direction (left-right direction).

[0033] The first panel member 31A2 is an example of a panel member made of a low-strength material that can be broken by applying an artificial external force according to the present invention, and is a member constituting the opening mechanism portion 40 (see FIG. 1). For example, in this embodiment, two first panel members 31A2·31A2 are provided, and are respectively arranged so as to close a pair of opposing corners (for example, the corners located in the upper left side and the lower right side in this embodiment) in the gate frame 31A1. That is, at least a part of the gate 31 (more specifically, the gate main body 31A) is provided with an opening mechanism portion 40.

[0034] The detailed configuration of the first panel member 31A2 will be described later together with the opening mechanism portion 40.

[0035] The second panel member 31A3 is made of a metal member such as steel or stainless steel having innumerable fine holes, and for example, a punching metal (inner punched wire net) formed by inner punching process, a fence formed in a mesh shape, etc. can be adopted.

[0036] And, for example, in the present embodiment, two second panel members 31A3·31A3 are provided, and are respectively arranged so as to close a pair of opposing corners (for example, in the present embodiment, the corners located on the upper right side and the lower left side) of the gate frame 31A1 excluding the arrangement positions of the pair of first panel members 31A2·31A2, and are fixed to the gate frame 31A1 via fastening members such as bolts.

[0037] The third panel members 31A4·31A4·31A4·31A4 are made of thin steel plates of metal such as steel or stainless steel, and for example, in the present embodiment, four are provided.

[0038] And these multiple third panel members 31A4·31A4·31A4·31A4 are respectively arranged so as to close the gap between these two members 31A2·31A3 at the center in the left - right direction (for example, in the present embodiment) between the pair of first panel members 31A2·31A2 and the pair of second panel members 31A3·31A3 in the gate frame 31A1, and are fixed to the gate frame 31A1 via fastening members such as bolts. Regarding the gap between the two members 31A2·31A3 closed by these multiple third panel members 31A4·31A4·31A4·31A4, it is sufficient that it is closed to such an extent that at least a part of the body (hand, finger, or foot) cannot be inserted.

[0039] The configuration of the gate body 31A is not limited to this embodiment, and any configuration may be adopted as long as at least the first panel member 31A2 is disposed on a part of the inner peripheral side of the gate frame 31A1.

[0040] For example, without providing the second panel member 31A3 and the third panel member 31A4, the entire area on the inner peripheral side of the gate frame 31A1 may be closed by only one first panel member 31A2. Alternatively, without providing the third panel member 31A4, the inner peripheral side of the gate frame 31A1 may be closed by one first panel member 31A2 disposed at a predetermined corner (for example, a corner located at the upper left or lower right side) and a plurality of second panel members 31A3·31A3···.

[0041] The guide mechanism portion 31A5 regulates the lifting posture of the gate body 31A when the gate body 31A is lifted and lowered by the gate moving device 31B. The guide mechanism portion 31A5 includes, for example, a pair of upper regulating rollers 31A5a·31A5a protruding in the left-right direction at the upper part of the gate frame 31A1, and a pair of lower regulating rollers 31A5b·31A5b protruding in the left-right direction at the lower part of the gate frame 31A1.

[0042] The upper regulating roller 31A5a is provided rotatably about its axis with the axial direction being the left-right direction, and is disposed between the flange of the gate-side column 31B1 described later and a rail (not shown) disposed in parallel with the flange and fixed to the gate-side column 31B1.

[0043] When the gate body 31A is lifted and lowered by the gate moving device 31B, the upper regulating roller 31A5a slides between the flange of the gate-side column 31B1 and the rail, and regulates the deviation of the lifting posture of the gate body 31A in the front-rear direction.

[0044] The lower regulating roller 31A5b is provided so as to be rotatable about the axis with the axial direction being the front-rear direction, and is arranged to be able to contact the web of the gate side support column 31B1.

[0045] When the gate main body 31A moves up and down by the gate moving device 31B, the lower side regulating roller 31A5b slides on the web of the gate side support column 31B1 to regulate the deviation of the lifting posture of the gate main body 31A in the left-right direction.

[0046] Note that the configuration of the guide mechanism portion 31A5 is not limited to this embodiment, and any configuration may be used as long as it is possible to regulate the deviation of the lifting posture of the gate main body 31A in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction when the gate main body 31A moves up and down by the gate moving device 31B.

[0047] The gate moving device 31B includes, for example, a pair of gate side support columns 31B1·31B1 erected on both the left and right sides of the gate main body 31A, a drive motor 31B2 provided as a drive source, and a suspension cable 31B3 for pulling the gate main body 31A.

[0048] The gate side support column 31B1 is made of a member having sufficient rigidity to support the load acting on the gate moving device 31B. For example, in this embodiment, an H-shaped steel is adopted. Note that the gate side support column 31B1 may be separately provided with respect to the frame structure 10 as a constituent member of the gate moving device 31B, or may be substituted by a support column 11 (see FIG. 1) constituting the entrance / exit 13 of the frame structure 10.

[0049] The drive motor 31B2 is arranged, for example, at the upper end of a predetermined gate side support column 31B1 with the axial direction of the drive shaft being the front-rear direction. A sprocket 31B2a is penetrated through the drive shaft.

[0050] On the one hand, the suspension cables 31B3·31B3 are composed of a drive chain, and for example, a pair (two) are provided for one gate movable device 31B. Each suspension cable 31B3 is connected to the sprocket 31B2a of the drive motor 31B2 at one end, and is connected to the lower part of the gate frame 31A1 at the other end.

[0051] Then, when the drive motor 31B2 rotates the sprocket 31B2a in the forward rotation direction, the gate body 31A rises from the first floor F1 located in the underground space V to the second floor F2 located on the first floor above ground through the suspension cable 31B3, and the entrance / exit 13 becomes closed. Also, when the drive motor 31B2 rotates the sprocket 31B2a in the reverse rotation direction, the gate body 31A descends from the second floor F2 to the first floor F1 through the suspension cable 31B3, and the entrance / exit 13 becomes open.

[0052] Note that the configuration of the gate movable device 31B is not limited to this embodiment, and any configuration may be used as long as it can move the gate body 31A up and down between the first floor F1 and the second floor F2. For example, the sprocket 31B2a and the suspension cable 31B3 may be respectively configured by a pulley and a timing belt, etc., or the gate movable device 31B may be configured by an electric actuator that can advance and retreat in the vertical direction, a pneumatic or hydraulic actuator, etc.

[0053] As shown in FIG. 1, the partition wall 32 separates the inside and the outside of the multi-story parking device 1 together with the above-described gate 31 (more specifically, the gate body 31A) at least on the floor where the entrance / exit 13 is provided (in this embodiment, the second floor F2 located on the first floor above ground). The partition 32 is composed of, for example, a punching metal or a fence made of a metal member such as steel or stainless steel having innumerable fine holes, and is disposed on the side surface of the frame structure 10 so as to surround the left and right sides and the rear side of the frame structure 10 in the area excluding the plurality of entrances and exits 13·13·13 on the second floor F2 of the multi-story parking device 1.

[0054] Here, the partition 32 is provided for reasons such as crime prevention. Generally, in a state where the gate 31 is closed, at least in the area of the floor (second floor F2) where the entrance 13 is provided, it is provided so as to block the left and right sides and the rear side of the frame structure 10 to such an extent that it is impossible for a person or a part of the body (hand, finger, or foot) to enter the interior of the multi-story parking device 1.

[0055] For example, when the entire multi-story parking device 1 (frame structure 10) is located in the underground space V, generally, the partition 32 made of the above-mentioned punching metal or fence is not provided. On the other hand, the wall surface V1 of the underground space V approaches the frame structure 10 to such an extent as to prevent a person from entering the interior of the multi-story parking device 1 from the floor surface of the underground space, and often exists so as to surround the area excluding the plurality of entrances and exits 13·13·13. In this case, the wall surface V1 of the underground space V can be cited as an example of the partition according to the present invention.

[0056] And at least a part of the partition 32 is provided with an opening mechanism portion 40 described later. In the present embodiment, the opening mechanism portion 40 is provided in both the gate 31 (more specifically, the gate main body 31A) and the partition 32, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the opening mechanism portion 40 may be provided in only either the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) or the partition 32.

[0057] The opening mechanism unit 40 is an example of the opening means according to the present invention, and manually opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (in this embodiment, both the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32). As described above, the opening mechanism unit 40 has a panel member (for example, the first panel member 31A2 in the gate main body 31A) made of a low-strength material that can be broken by applying an artificial external force, and through the panel member, a part of the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32 are manually opened.

[0058] Details of the opening mechanism unit 40 will be described later.

[0059] As described above, the multi-story parking apparatus 1 in this embodiment includes a plurality of pallets 20, 20,... that can be lifted and lowered, and an enclosure 30 that surrounds the plurality of pallets 20, 20,.... It is a multi-story parking apparatus in which a vehicle W is mounted on each pallet 20 for parking. The enclosure 30 includes a gate 31 that opens and closes an entrance / exit 13 for the vehicle W to enter and exit each pallet 20, a partition wall 32 that surrounds the area excluding the entrance / exit 13, and an opening mechanism unit 40 that manually opens at least a part of the gate 31 (more specifically, the gate main body 31A) and the partition wall 32.

[0060] With such a configuration, according to the multi-story parking apparatus 1 in this embodiment, for example, even when a fire occurs inside the apparatus, the opening mechanism unit 40 opens a part of the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32, and it is possible to easily access the inside of the multi-story parking apparatus 1 from the outside of the apparatus. Therefore, firefighters can enter the inside of the apparatus, or insert a nozzle of a fire extinguisher or the like, and immediately carry out fire extinguishing activities at the initial stage. Therefore, compared with conventional multi-story parking apparatuses, it is possible to prevent the spread of damage caused by fire and further improve safety. In addition to such fire extinguishing activities, for example, when there is a person left inside the device, by opening a part of the gate body 31A and the partition wall 32 by the release mechanism unit 40, the person can be immediately evacuated outside the device. Furthermore, for example, even if the gate movable device 31B suddenly malfunctions, it can be forcibly opened by the release mechanism unit 40, and it can be easily accessed from the outside of the multi-story parking device 1 to the inside of the device.

[0061] Note that the configuration of the release mechanism unit 40 is not limited to this embodiment. That is, at least a part of the gate 31 (gate body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 may be configured to be manually openable. For example, the gate body 31A may be configured to be divisible in the vertical direction, and the upper part of the gate body 31A may be forcibly raised by manual operation to perform an opening operation, so that a part of the gate body 31A is opened. In this case, for example, by pressing a manual operation button, a part of the gate body 31A is controllably forced to operate (rise), or by operating an operation handle or the like provided separately, a part of the gate body 31A is mechanically forced to operate (rise).

[0062] [Configuration of Release Mechanism Unit 40] Next, the configuration of the release mechanism unit 40 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3. As described above, the release mechanism unit 40 is for manually opening at least a part of the gate 31 (gate body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (see FIG. 1), and in this embodiment, it is provided on both the gate body 31A and the partition wall 32. Note that the release mechanism units 40 provided on the gate body 31A and the partition wall 32 respectively have substantially the same configuration. Therefore, in the following description, mainly the release mechanism unit 40 provided on the gate body 31A will be described, and the description of the release mechanism unit 40 provided on the partition wall 32 will be omitted.

[0063] The opening mechanism part 40 mainly includes an opening 41 that opens at least a part of the gate body 31A, a panel member 42 that closes the opening 41, and a support member 43 that supports the panel member 42 from the gate frame 31A1 of the gate body 31A.

[0064] The opening 41 is a space part pre-formed in the gate body 31A. In this embodiment, for example, the opening 41 is constituted by a space part in other areas on the inner peripheral side of the gate frame 31A1, excluding the areas blocked by the plurality of second panel members 31A3·31A3 (see FIG. 2) and the third panel members 31A4·31A4·31A4·31A4.

[0065] In the opening mechanism part 40 provided in the partition wall 32, a space part that opens the partition wall 32 is pre-formed as the opening 41 (see FIG. 1).

[0066] As described above, the panel member 42 is constituted by the first panel member 31A2 made of a low-strength material that can be broken by applying an artificial external force, and is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape having an area substantially equal to that of the opening 41. As an example of such a low-strength material, for example, materials such as calcium silicate board (calcium silicate plate), gypsum board, or resin member (acrylic plate) that can be easily kicked and broken by a person can be adopted.

[0067] In the panel member 42, for reasons such as crime prevention, in order to ensure the visibility inside the multi-story parking device 1, for example, innumerable fine holes may be provided in advance, or it may be formed to be light-transmissive (transparent) to such an extent that the inside of the device can be visually recognized. Also, in the panel member 42, in order to make it more easily breakable by an artificial external force, it may be provided with scribing lines or the like in advance.

[0068] The support members 43·43 are made of metal members such as steel or stainless steel. For example, in the present embodiment, they are formed by a pair of strip-shaped members extending along the upper and lower ends of the panel member 42.

[0069] And each support member 43 is fixed to the gate frame 31A1 using a fastening member such as a bolt at one side end extending in the longitudinal direction, and is fixed to the panel member 42 using the fastening member at the other side end extending in the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the panel member 42 is fixed to the gate frame 31A1 via the pair of support members 43·43 in a state where the opening 41 is closed.

[0070] Note that the shape of the support member 43 is not limited to the strip shape as in the present embodiment, and any shape may be used as long as the panel member 42 can be fixed to the gate frame 31A1.

[0071] On the other hand, in the opening mechanism portion 40 provided in the partition wall 32, a metal rectangular frame-shaped member (not shown) is provided in advance along the periphery of the opening 41. With respect to the rectangular frame-shaped member, the panel member 42 is fixed to the partition wall 32 via the pair of support members 43·43 in a state where the opening 41 is closed.

[0072] As described above, the opening mechanism portion 40 in the present embodiment has an opening 41 that opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (in the present embodiment, both the gate body 31A and the partition wall 32), and a panel member 42 made of a low-strength material that can be broken by applying an artificial external force and closes the opening 41.

[0073] With such a configuration, according to the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1 having the opening mechanism portion 40 in the present embodiment, for example, when a fire breaks out inside the apparatus, the panel member 42 can be destroyed by kicking it manually or the like, and a part of the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 can be immediately opened. Therefore, it is possible to more easily access the inside of the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1 from the outside of the apparatus, and the fire extinguishing activity at the initial stage can be immediately carried out.

[0074] In addition, since the opening mechanism portion 40 in the present embodiment opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32, for example, as described above, one panel member 42 may be provided as the first panel member 31A2 so as to block the entire inner peripheral side region of the gate frame 31A1, or the panel member 42 may be provided on the entire one side surface of the partition wall 32.

[0075] [Configuration of the opening mechanism portion 140 (first alternative embodiment)] Next, the configuration of the opening mechanism portion 140 in the first alternative embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 4. The opening mechanism portion 140 in the first alternative embodiment also manually opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (see FIG. 1), similar to the opening mechanism portion 40 in the above-described present embodiment. In the present alternative embodiment, it is provided on both the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32. Note that since the opening mechanism portions 140 provided on the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32 respectively have substantially the same configuration, in the following description, the opening mechanism portion 140 provided mainly on the gate main body 31A will be described, and the description of the opening mechanism portion 140 provided on the partition wall 32 will be omitted.

[0076] The opening mechanism portion 140 mainly includes an opening 141 that opens at least a part of the gate main body 31A, a panel member 142 that closes the opening 141, and a plurality of support members 143, 143,... that support the panel member 142 from the periphery of the opening 141.

[0077] The opening 141 is a space portion formed in advance in the gate body 31A. Since the opening 141 has the same configuration as the opening 41 of the opening mechanism portion 40 described above, the description thereof is omitted.

[0078] The panel member 142 is an example of a panel member made of a high-strength material that cannot be broken by an artificial external force according to the present invention. For example, it is made of a metal member such as steel or stainless steel. In this alternative embodiment, it is composed of a perforated metal (inner wire mesh) having innumerable fine holes, a fence formed in a mesh shape, or the like. The panel member 142 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape having substantially the same area as the opening 141.

[0079] The support member 143 is made of a low-strength material that can be broken by applying an artificial external force. For example, a material that can be easily kicked and broken by a person, such as a calcium silicate board (calcium silicate plate), a gypsum board, or a resin member (acrylic plate), can be adopted. Further, the support members 143, 143,... are formed, for example, in a rectangular flat plate shape, and a plurality of them are provided in the opening mechanism portion 140.

[0080] Each support member 143 is fixed to the gate frame 31A1 using a fastening member such as a bolt in a state of being sandwiched via, for example, a plate member 144 at one end portion in the longitudinal direction, and is fixed to the panel member 142 using the fastening member at the other end portion in the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the panel member 142 is fixed to the gate frame 31A1 from the periphery of the opening 141 via a plurality of support members 143, 143,... in a state of closing the opening 141.

[0081] Note that the configuration of the support member 143 is not limited to this alternative embodiment. For example, it may be configured as a single member formed in a rectangular frame shape along the outer shape of the panel member 142.

[0082] As described above, the opening mechanism unit 140 in the first alternative embodiment includes an opening 141 that opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (in this alternative embodiment, both the gate body 31A and the partition wall 32), a panel member 142 made of a high-strength material that cannot be broken by an artificial external force and closes the opening 141, and a support member 143 made of a low-strength material that can be broken by applying an artificial external force and supports the panel member 142 from the periphery of the opening 141.

[0083] With such a configuration, according to the three-dimensional parking device 1 having the opening mechanism unit 140 in the first alternative embodiment, for example, when a fire occurs inside the device, an artificial impact is applied to the panel member 142 to break the support member 143, remove the panel member 142, and immediately open a part of the gate body 31A and / or the partition wall 32. Therefore, it is possible to more easily access the inside of the three-dimensional parking device 1 from the outside of the device, and the fire extinguishing activity in the initial stage can be carried out immediately.

[0084] Note that the opening mechanism unit 140 in the first alternative embodiment also opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32, similar to the opening mechanism unit 40 in the above-described embodiment. For example, one panel member 142 may be provided so as to close the entire inner peripheral side area of the gate frame 31A1, or the panel member 142 may be provided on the entire one side surface of the partition wall 32. In addition, in the support member 143, in order to make it more easily breakable by an artificial external force, a scribing line or the like may be provided in advance.

[0085] [Configuration of the opening mechanism unit 240 (second alternative embodiment)] Next, the configuration of the opening mechanism unit 240 in the second alternative embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 to 8. The release mechanism unit 240 in the second alternative embodiment also manually releases at least a part of the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (see FIG. 1), similar to the release mechanism unit 40 in the above-described embodiment. In this alternative embodiment, it is provided on both the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32. Note that since the release mechanism units 240 provided on the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32 respectively have substantially the same configuration, in the following description, mainly the release mechanism unit 240 provided on the gate main body 31A will be described, and the description of the release mechanism unit 240 provided on the partition wall 32 will be omitted.

[0086] As shown in FIG. 5, the release mechanism unit 240 mainly includes an opening 241 that opens at least a part of the gate main body 31A, a panel member 242 that closes the opening 241, and a manual fastening member 243 that fixes the panel member 242 to the periphery of the opening 241.

[0087] The opening 241 is a space portion pre-formed in the gate main body 31A. Note that since the opening 241 has the same configuration as the opening 41 of the release mechanism unit 40 described above, the description is omitted.

[0088] The panel member 242 is an example of a panel member made of a high-strength material that cannot be broken by an artificial external force according to the present invention. For example, it is made of a metal member such as steel or stainless steel. In this alternative embodiment, it is composed of a perforated metal (inner wire mesh) having innumerable fine holes, a fence formed in a mesh shape, or the like. And the panel member 242 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape having a slightly larger area than the opening 241.

[0089] The manual fastening member 243 is a fastening member configured to be displaceable between a fastening position P1 in a fastened state and a fastening release position P2 that releases the fastened state by a manual operation. As an example of the manual fastening member 243 having such a configuration, for example, a wing nut 243a as shown in FIG. 5(a) can be adopted.

[0090] Specifically, a plurality of (only one is shown in FIG. 5(a) because it is an enlarged cross-sectional side view) through holes 242a·242a··· are provided in advance at predetermined positions on the outer peripheral portion of the panel member 242.

[0091] On the other hand, a plurality of (only one is shown in FIG. 5(a) because it is an enlarged cross-sectional side view) bolts 244·244··· are provided through the gate frame 31A1 at the peripheral edge of the opening 241 in the gate frame 31A1. Further, these plurality of bolts 244·244··· are respectively provided at positions overlapping with the through holes 242a·242a··· of the panel member 242 arranged so as to close the opening 241, and are provided through with the male screw portion facing the panel member 242 side (front side), and are fixed to the gate frame 31A1 by welding or the like.

[0092] Then, with the male screw portion of the bolt 244 inserted into each through hole 242a, a wing nut 243a is screwed onto the male screw portion, and by manually operating to move the wing nut 243a from the fastening release position P2 to the fastening position P1, the panel member 242 is fixed to the gate frame 31A1 (more specifically, the peripheral edge of the opening 241) in a state of closing the opening 241. Also, with the male screw portions of the bolts 244·244··· respectively inserted into the plurality of through holes 242a·242a···, the wing nut 243a located at the fastening position P1 is loosened by manual operation and moved to the fastening release position P2, whereby the panel member 242 is released from the state of being fixed to the gate frame 31A1 (peripheral edge of the opening 241) and can be removed from the peripheral edge of the opening 241.

[0093] Also, as another example of the manual fastening means 243, for example, a trim clip 243b as shown in FIG. 5(b) can be adopted.

[0094] The trim clip 243b is a known fastening member provided, for example, in the interior of a vehicle to fix a carpet or the like to the vehicle body. It mainly has a hollow clip body 243b1 and an operation bar 243b2 that can be inserted into the clip body 243b1. By manually inserting the operation bar 243b2 into the clip body 243b1, the tip of the clip body 243b1 expands in diameter (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as the "diameter-expanded state"), and by manually pulling out the operation bar 243b2, the tip of the clip body 243b1 contracts in diameter (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as the "diameter-contracted state").

[0095] Here, a plurality of through holes 242a, 242a,... (only one is shown in FIG. 5(b) because it is an enlarged cross-sectional side view) are provided at predetermined positions in advance on the outer peripheral portion of the panel member 242. On the other hand, in a state where the panel member 242 is arranged so as to close the opening 241 of the gate frame 31A1, a plurality of through holes 241a, 241a,... are provided at positions overlapping the through holes 242a, 242a,... of the panel member 242 on the peripheral edge of the opening 241 in the gate frame 31A1.

[0096] Then, with respect to each of the through holes 241a and 242a, the trim clip 243b in the diameter-contracted state is simultaneously inserted, and after manually moving the trim clip 243b from the fastening release position P2 to the fastening position P1 and then expanding the diameter, the panel member 242 is fixed to the gate frame 31A1 (more specifically, the peripheral edge of the opening 241) in a state where the opening 241 is closed. Also, with respect to each of the through holes 241a and 242a, the trim clip 243b in the diameter-expanded state is manually made to contract in diameter, and then by moving the trim clip 243b from the fastening position P1 to the fastening release position P2, the panel member 242 is released from the state of being fixed to the gate frame 31A1 (the peripheral edge of the opening 241) and can be removed from the peripheral edge of the opening 241.

[0097] As described above, the opening mechanism 240 in the second alternative embodiment includes an opening 241 that opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (in this alternative embodiment, both the gate body 31A and the partition wall 32), a panel member 242 made of a high-strength material that cannot be destroyed by an artificial external force and closes the opening 241, and a manual fastening member 243 that can be displaced by a manual operation between a fastening position P1 where it is in a fastened state and a fastening release position P2 where the fastened state is released, and fixes the panel member 242 to the periphery of the opening 241.

[0098] With such a configuration, according to the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1 having the opening mechanism 240 in the second alternative embodiment, for example, when a fire breaks out inside the apparatus, by simply manually displacing the manual fastening member 243 to the release position, the panel member 242 can be removed and a part of the gate body 31A and / or the partition wall 32 can be immediately opened. Therefore, it is possible to more easily access the inside of the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1 from the outside of the apparatus, and the fire extinguishing activity at the initial stage can be immediately carried out.

[0099] Note that the opening mechanism 240 in the second alternative embodiment also opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32, similar to the opening mechanism 40 in the above-described present embodiment. Therefore, for example, one panel member 242 may be provided so as to close the entire inner peripheral side region of the gate frame 31A1, or the panel member 242 may be provided on the entire one side surface of the partition wall 32.

[0100] Also, for the manual fastening member 243, any type can be adopted as long as it can be displaced between the fastening position P1 and the fastening release position P2 by a manual operation. For example, at a position overlapping with through holes 242a, 242a,... of panel member 242 disposed so as to close opening 241 at the periphery of opening 241 on the back side (the rear side in this alternative embodiment) of gate frame 31A1, a plurality of nuts are fixedly provided in advance by welding or the like, and by inserting them from the front side (the front side in this alternative embodiment) of gate frame 31A1, a manual fastening member 243 may be constituted by a plurality of bolts that can be screwed with these nuts, or alternatively, a manual fastening member 243 may be constituted by a permanent magnet, a claw-shaped fitting for attaching a wheel of a tire, or the like.

[0101] [Configuration of Release Mechanism Unit 250 (Modification of the Second Alternative Embodiment)] Incidentally, in the second alternative embodiment, as a modification of release mechanism unit 240, it is also possible to adopt a release mechanism unit 250 having the following configuration. That is, the release mechanism unit 250, which is a modification of the second alternative embodiment, also manually opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (see FIG. 1), and in the modification of this alternative embodiment, it is provided on both the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32. Note that since the release mechanism units 250 provided on the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32 respectively have substantially the same configuration, in the following description, mainly the release mechanism unit 250 provided on the gate main body 31A will be described, and the description of the release mechanism unit 250 provided on the partition wall 32 will be omitted.

[0102] As shown in FIG. 6, the release mechanism unit 250 mainly includes an opening 251 that opens at least a part of the gate main body 31A, a panel member 252 that closes the opening 251, and a manual fastening member 253 that fixes the panel member 252 to the periphery of the opening 251. Further, the opening mechanism portion 250 includes an opening side stay member 254 that supports the panel member 252 from the periphery of the opening 251, and a panel side stay member 255 that is provided so as to be protrudable from the outer peripheral portion of the panel member 252 toward the opening side stay member 254, and further includes a sealing member 256 for sealing the manual operation of the manual fastening member 253.

[0103] Similar to the opening 241, the opening 251 is a space portion formed in advance in the gate body 31A. Since the opening 251 also has the same configuration as the opening 41 of the opening mechanism portion 40 described above, the description thereof is omitted.

[0104] Similar to the panel member 242, the panel member 252 is an example of a panel member made of a high-strength material that cannot be broken by an artificial external force according to the present invention. For example, it is made of a metal member such as steel or stainless steel. In a modification of this alternative embodiment, it is constituted by a punching metal (inner wire mesh) having innumerable fine holes, a fence formed in a mesh shape, or the like. Further, the panel member 252 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape having substantially the same area as the opening 251.

[0105] Note that, in a modification of this alternative embodiment, the configuration of the panel member 252 is not limited to the above-described configuration, and any member that can close the opening 251 may be used.

[0106] Then, the panel member 252 is arranged so as to close the opening 251, and at the lower end portion, it is connected to the gate frame 31A1 via a plurality (three in the modification of this alternative embodiment) of hinges 257·257·257, and is provided so as to be rotatable (openable and closable) in the vertical direction (up and down direction). Further, as will be described later, the panel member 252 is fixed to the gate frame 31A1 by a plurality (three in the modification of this alternative embodiment) of manual fastening members 253, 253, 253 and nuts 260, 260, 260 (see FIG. 8) at the end portion (i.e., the upper end portion) on the side opposite to the side where these plurality of hinges 257, 257, 257 are provided.

[0107] Note that the location where these plurality of hinges 257, 257, 257 are provided is not limited to the modification of this alternative embodiment, and may be provided, for example, at any end portion such as the upper end portion, the right end portion, or the left end portion of the panel member 252. That is, the panel member 252 is not limited to the configuration in which it is opened by rotating it to the front side (front side) and the lower side of the gate frame 31A1 as in the modification of this alternative embodiment, and may be configured to be opened by rotating it to the front side (front side) and the right side, or the front side (front side) and the left side of the gate frame 31A1.

[0108] The manual fastening member 253 is a fastening member configured to be displaceable between a fastening position P1 where it is in a fastened state and a fastening release position P2 where the fastened state is released by a manual operation, similar to the manual fastening member 243. In the modification of this alternative embodiment, a wing bolt 253a is adopted as an example of the manual fastening member 253. Note that the detailed configuration of the manual fastening member 253 will be described later.

[0109] The opening-side stay member 254 is, for example, composed of a strip-shaped member extending in one direction and bent in a substantially "Z" shape in a longitudinal cross-sectional view, and is arranged along the peripheral edge (the upper peripheral edge in the modification of this alternative embodiment) on the side opposite to the side where the hinge 257 is provided in the opening 251. Also, as shown in FIG. 8(b), in a state where the panel member 252 is arranged so as to close the opening 251, the opening-side stay member 254 protrudes from the peripheral edge (upper peripheral edge) of the opening 251 toward the center of the opening 251 (i.e., downward), and with respect to the outer peripheral portion on the upper end side of the panel member 252, a portion protruding from the peripheral edge (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as the "opening-side protruding portion 254a") is provided so as to be located inside (rear side in the modification of this separate embodiment) of the surrounding portion 30 (see FIG. 1).

[0110] And, as shown in FIG. 6, the opening-side stay member 254 is fixed to the gate frame 31A1 via a plurality (three in the modification of this separate embodiment) of fastening members 258·258·258 made of bolts or the like.

[0111] As shown in FIG. 8(a), the panel-side stay member 255 is, for example, formed by bending a rectangular flat plate-shaped member into a convex shape and protruding the central portion in the longitudinal direction in the thickness direction. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the panel-side stay members 255·255·255 are provided in the same number (three) as the above-described hinges 257·257·257 with respect to one panel member 252, and are arranged at equal intervals along the upper end portion of the panel member 252.

[0112] And, as shown in FIG. 8(a), each panel-side stay member 255 is arranged on the panel member 252 in a state where a portion located at the central portion in the longitudinal direction (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as the "panel-side protruding portion 255a") protrudes toward the inside (rear side) of the surrounding portion 30, and at both end portions sandwiching the panel-side protruding portion 255a, it is fixed to the panel member 252 via a plurality (two in the modification of this separate embodiment) of fastening members 259·259 made of bolts or the like. Also, as shown in FIG. 8(b), the panel-side stay member 255 is provided such that the rear surface of the panel-side protruding portion 255a abuts against the front surface of the opening-side protruding portion 254a in the opening-side stay member 254 in a state where the panel member 252 is arranged so as to close the opening 251. That is, the panel-side stay member 255 is provided so as to be able to project from the outer peripheral portion (the upper end portion in the modification of this separate embodiment) of the panel member 252 toward the opening-side projecting portion 254a of the opening-side stay member 254.

[0113] Here, as shown in FIG. 8(a), in each panel-side stay member 255, a panel-side through-hole 255b is provided at the central portion in the longitudinal direction (the left-right direction in the modification of this separate embodiment).

[0114] On the other hand, the opening-side projecting portion 254a of the opening-side stay member 254 is provided with the same number (three) of opening-side through-holes 254b·254b·254b as the above-described hinges 257·257·257. These plurality (three) of opening-side through-holes 254b·254b·254b are arranged coaxially with the panel-side through-holes 255b·255b·255b provided in the plurality (three) of panel-side stay members 255·255·255, respectively, in a state where the panel member 252 is arranged so as to close the opening 251. Also, on the rear surface of the opening-side projecting portion 254a, the same number (three) of nuts 260·260·260 as the above-described hinges 257·257·257 are provided. These plurality (three) of nuts 260·260·260 are arranged coaxially with the plurality (three) of panel-side through-holes 255b·255b·255b, respectively, and are fixed in advance by welding or the like.

[0115] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8(b), the upper end portion of the panel member 252 is provided with the same number (three) of opening holes 252a·252a·252a as the above-described hinges 257·257·257. These plurality (three) of opening holes 252a·252a·252a are arranged coaxially with the plurality (three) of panel-side through-holes 255b·255b·255b, respectively. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, each opening hole 252a is set to have a sufficient opening area that enables operation of the butterfly bolt 253a, which is a manual fastening member, coaxially located, for example, at the inner peripheral portion, from the outside of the surrounding portion 30 (front side in the modification of this alternative embodiment).

[0116] Then, as shown in FIG. 8(b), with the panel member 252 arranged so as to close the opening 251 of the gate frame 31A1, the butterfly bolt 253a is inserted from the outside (front side) of the surrounding portion 30 through each opening hole 252a, and by manual operation, the butterfly bolt 253a is simultaneously passed through the panel-side through hole 255b and the opening-side through hole 254b and screwed into the nut 260, and by moving it from the fastening release position P2 to the fastening position P1, the panel member 252 is fixed to the gate frame 31A1 (more specifically, the periphery of the opening 251). That is, the panel member 252 is fixed to the periphery of the opening 251 by fastening the opening-side stay member 254 and the panel-side stay member 255 with the manual fastening member 253 (butterfly bolt 253a).

[0117] Also, in a state where the butterfly bolt 253a is screwed into each nut 260, by manually loosening the butterfly bolt 253a located at the fastening position P1 and moving it to the fastening release position P2, the panel member 252 is released from the state of being fixed to the gate frame 31A1 (the periphery of the opening 241) and can be removed from the periphery of the opening 251.

[0118] In the modification of this alternative embodiment, although the fixing structure of the panel member 252 to the gate frame 31A1 is configured by the butterfly bolt 253a and the nut 260, it is not limited thereto. For example, it is also possible to adopt a slide-type or spring-type latch lock used for a storage shed or a wooden door as the manual fastening member 253. In this case, the above fixing structure can be configured only by the manual fastening member 253.

[0119] As another example of the above-described fixing structure, a male fitting 253b (for example, a stud bail manufactured by Nabeya Bitec Co., Ltd.) and a female fitting 253c (for example, a receptacle manufactured by Nabeya Bitec Co., Ltd.) as shown in FIG. 9 may be adopted.

[0120] Specifically, the male fitting 253b is a substantially round bar-shaped member having a latching portion 253b1 at its tip, and a head portion 253b2 with an enlarged diameter is provided at the end opposite to the latching portion 253b1 side. A hook 253b3 is rotatably connected to the head portion 253b2.

[0121] The male fitting 253b is inserted into the panel-side through hole 255b of the panel-side stay member 255 from the outside (front side) of the surrounding portion 30, and is attached to the panel-side stay member 255 so as to be rotatable (pivotable) about the axis via a retaining washer 253d.

[0122] On the other hand, the female fitting 253c has a latching portion 253c1 having a hole (not shown) through which the tip portion (latching portion 253b1) of the male fitting 253b can be inserted, and a clip portion 253c2 provided so as to surround the periphery of the latching portion 253b1. The female fitting 253c is fixed to the opening-side protruding portion 254a of the opening-side stay member 254 via the clip portion 253c2 in a state where the hole of the latching portion 253c1 is coaxial with the opening-side through hole 254b on the rear surface side of the opening-side stay member 254.

[0123] By disposing the panel member 252 in a state where the opening 251 of the gate frame 31A1 is closed, the latching portion 253b1 of the male fitting 253b is inserted into the hole of the female fitting 253c (more specifically, the latching portion 253c1). Thereafter, by pivoting the male fitting 253b about 90° about the axis, the male fitting 253b is latched to the latching portion 253c1 of the female fitting 253c via the latching portion 253b1. As a result, the panel member 252 is fixed to the gate frame 31A1.

[0124] In addition, when the above fixing structure is configured by these male fittings 253b and female fittings 253c, after fixing the panel member 252 to the gate frame 31A1, using a sealing seal 253e as described later, it is more preferable for security reasons to fix the hook 253b3 to the panel side stay member 255 (more specifically, the panel side protruding portion 255a) and seal the manual operation of the male fitting 253b. In this case, when releasing the fastening state of the male fitting 253b, by pulling up the hook 253b3, the sealing seal 253e can be easily peeled off, and the male fitting 253b can be further rotated by approximately 90°, and the latching state between the latching portion 253b1 of the male fitting 253b and the latched portion 253c1 of the female fitting 253c can be released.

[0125] Also, in addition to fixing the hook 253b3 with the sealing seal 253e, the opening hole portion 252a may be sealed with a sealing member 256 described later, or only one of the sealing seal 253e and the sealing member 256 may be used.

[0126] By adopting the above fixing structure having such a configuration, for example, in the above description, a configuration having the panel member side stay member 255 was described. However, if the male fitting 253b is directly attached to the panel member 252, the panel member side stay member 255 can be omitted. Also, in the opening side protruding portion 254a of the opening side stay member 254, most of the region except the region sandwiched by the clip portion 253c2 can be omitted. Furthermore, since the hook 253b3 has an overhang approximately the same as the head portion 253b2 of the male fitting 253b, for example, even when raising and lowering the gate body 31A, the hook 253b3 will not accidentally catch on other members.

[0127] In addition, in a modification of this alternative embodiment, a butterfly bolt 253a is adopted as the manual fastening member 253. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be provided on the door of a control panel, a switchboard, or the like, or the door of a steel locker, a safe, or the like, and a lever handle having an L-shaped handle or a T-shaped handle may be adopted. By adopting such a lever handle or the male fitting 253b as the manual fastening member 253, the panel member 252 can be easily shifted to a state where it is fixed to the gate frame 31A1 (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as the "fixed state") and a state where the panel member 252 is released from the fixed state (hereinafter, appropriately referred to as the "fixed release state") by simply rotating the handle about 90° around the axis. That is, the operating range between the fastening position P1 and the fastening release position P2 by the manual fastening member 253 can be reduced, and the operation of the manual fastening member 253 can be facilitated.

[0128] Furthermore, in a modification of this alternative embodiment, three fixing structures each including a butterfly bolt 253a and a nut 260 are provided for one panel member 252. However, the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the panel member 252 can be fixed to the gate frame 31A1, for example, it may be provided at only one location, or may be provided at two locations, or four or more locations.

[0129] As described above, the sealing member 256 seals the manual operation of the manual fastening member 253. For example, in a modification of this alternative embodiment, the sealing member 256 is composed of a film-like material and an adhesive layer provided on one surface of the material, and is configured by a sealing tape that can be easily peeled off by a human fingertip or a pointed member such as a key. Also, as shown in FIG. 7, the sealing member 256 is set to have a sufficiently large surface area compared to the opening area of each opening hole 252a of the panel member 252.

[0130] Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the sealing members 256·256·256 are provided in the same number (three) as the plurality (three) of opening holes 252a·252a·252a with respect to one panel member 252, and are respectively adhered to the front surface of the panel member 252 via the adhesive layer so as to seal the plurality of opening holes 252a·252a·252a. Thus, during normal times other than in the event of an emergency, the sealing member 256 serves as a barrier, making it impossible to touch the manual fastening member 253 (butterfly bolt 253a) located at the fastening position P1 from the outside (front side) of the enclosure 30, and the manual operation of the manual fastening member 253 is sealed.

[0131] As described above, the release mechanism portion 250 in the modification of the second alternative embodiment includes an opening side stay member 254 that supports the panel member 252 from the periphery (upper periphery) of the opening 251 in the gate 31 (gate body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (in the modification of this alternative embodiment, both the gate body 31A and the partition wall 32), and a panel side stay member 255 that is provided so as to be able to project from the outer peripheral portion (upper end portion) of the panel member 252 toward the opening side stay member 254.

[0132] Further, the opening side stay member 254 projects from the periphery (upper periphery) of the opening 251 and is provided so as to be located inside (rear side) of the enclosure 30 with respect to the outer peripheral portion (upper end portion) of the panel member 252. By fastening the opening side stay member 254 and the panel side stay member 255 with the manual fastening member 253 (butterfly bolt 253a), the panel member 252 is configured to be fixed to the periphery (upper periphery) of the opening 251.

[0133] An opening hole 252a that enables the operation of the manual fastening member 253 is provided in the panel member 252 from the outside (front side) of the enclosure 30, and the release mechanism portion 250 further has a sealing member 256 that seals the opening hole 252a.

[0134] With such a configuration, according to the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1 of the present invention having the opening mechanism portion 250 which is a modification of the second alternative embodiment, in the configuration where the panel member 252 is fixed to the opening 251 by the manual fastening member 253 (butterfly bolt 253a) as described above, in an emergency such as when a fire breaks out inside the apparatus, for example, the sealing member 256 is broken and discarded, and immediately the manual fastening member 253 (butterfly bolt 253a) is operated to remove the panel member 252, and a part of the gate body 31A and / or the partition wall 32 can be easily opened. In normal times other than such an emergency, the manual operation of the manual fastening member 253 (butterfly bolt 253a) is sealed by the sealing member 256, and mischievous operations of the manual fastening member can be surely prevented.

[0135] Note that the configuration of the sealing member 256 is not limited to the sealing tape as described above. For example, as long as it can seal the opening hole portion 252a in normal times other than an emergency, such as an adhesive tape made of vinyl, it may be constituted by any one.

[0136] Also, separately provide a sealing tape 261 for sealing the manual operation of the manual fastening member 253 together with or in place of the sealing member 256, and use the sealing tape 261 to fix the head portion 253a1 of the butterfly bolt 253a which is the manual fastening member 253 to the panel side stay member 255 (more specifically, the panel side protruding portion 255a). Such a configuration may be adopted. In this case, when moving the butterfly bolt 253a located at the fastening position P1 to the fastening release position P2, the operator pinches the head portion 253a1 together with the sealing tape 261 and loosens the butterfly bolt 253a.

[0137] Furthermore, the opening mechanism section 250 in the modification of the second alternative embodiment also opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32, similar to the opening mechanism section 40 in the above-described present embodiment. Therefore, for example, one panel member 252 may be provided so as to block the entire inner peripheral area of the gate frame 31A1, or the panel member 252 may be provided on the entire one side surface of the partition wall 32.

[0138] Also, in each gate main body 31A (see FIG. 2), the panel members 252·252 are arranged at a pair of opposing corner portions (corner portions located at the upper left and lower right) similar to the first panel members 31A2·31A2 in the above-described present embodiment, but are not limited thereto, and at least may be arranged on the upper side of the gate main body 31A. In other words, in the gate main body 31A, when a total of four openings 251·251·251·251 arranged side by side in the vertical and horizontal directions are provided in the inner peripheral portion of the gate frame 31A1, at least the panel member 252 may be arranged so as to block any of the openings 251 located on the upper side. In this case, for the openings 251·251 located on the lower side, they may be blocked by a panel member made of any member, for example, a simple rectangular flat steel plate or the like having no innumerable fine holes may be used to block them.

[0139] [Configuration of the opening mechanism section 340 (third alternative embodiment)] Next, the configuration of the opening mechanism section 340 in the third alternative embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 10. The opening mechanism section 340 in the third alternative embodiment also manually opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (see FIG. 1), similar to the opening mechanism section 40 in the above-described present embodiment, and in this alternative embodiment, it is provided on both the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32. Note that since the opening mechanism parts 340 provided in the gate body 31A and the partition wall 32 have substantially the same configuration, in the following description, mainly the opening mechanism part 340 provided in the gate body 31A will be described, and the description of the opening mechanism part 340 provided in the partition wall 32 will be omitted.

[0140] The opening mechanism part 340 mainly includes an opening 341 that opens at least a part of the gate body 31A, a panel member 342 that closes the opening 341, a pair of hinges 343·343 that support the panel member 342 so as to be openable and closable, and an emergency lock 344 that can lock the panel member 342.

[0141] The opening 341 is a space part formed in advance in the gate body 31A. Note that since the opening 341 has the same configuration as the opening 41 of the opening mechanism part 40 described above, the description thereof will be omitted.

[0142] The panel member 342 is an example of a panel member made of a high-strength material that cannot be broken by an artificial external force according to the present invention. For example, it is made of a metal member such as steel or stainless steel. In this alternative embodiment, it is composed of a perforated metal (inner wire mesh) having innumerable fine holes, a fence formed in a mesh shape, or the like. And the panel member 342 is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape having substantially the same area as the opening 341.

[0143] The hinge 343 supports the panel member 342 so as to be openable and closable from the peripheral edge of the opening 341 in the gate body 31A. Specifically, a fixed plate 345 having a rectangular frame shape is disposed in advance along the inner peripheral part of the opening 341, and the hinge 343 supports the panel member 342 with respect to the fixed plate 345 so as to be openable and closable in the horizontal direction (in this alternative embodiment, the left-right direction).

[0144] Note that the above configuration is not limited to this separate embodiment. For example, without having the fixed plate 345, the panel member 342 may be supported by the hinge 343 so as to be openable and closable directly with respect to the gate frame 31A1.

[0145] The emergency lock 344 is a locking means that normally keeps the panel member 342 in a locked state and cannot be unlocked, and can be unlocked only by manual operation in an emergency. In this separate embodiment, for example, the emergency lock 344 has a doorknob 344a and a cover member 344b that entirely covers the doorknob 344a.

[0146] The doorknob 344a is provided with a knob 344a1 that can be switched between a locked state and an unlocked state, and the knob 344a1 is normally held in the locked state. Further, the cover member 344b is formed of a resin member (acrylic plate) or the like that can be broken by applying an artificial external force. That is, in normal times, the emergency lock 344 has the doorknob 344a covered by the cover member 344b so that the knob 344a1 cannot be operated, and keeps the panel member 342 in a non-unlockable state in the closed state.

[0147] Then, for example, in an emergency such as a fire occurring inside the device, by artificially breaking the cover member 344b, the doorknob 344a is exposed to the outside, and the knob 344a1 is switched from the locked state to the unlocked state. That is, the emergency lock 344 is configured to be unlockable only by manual operation (including the act of artificially breaking the cover member 344b) in an emergency.

[0148] Note that the configuration of the emergency lock 344 is not limited to this separate embodiment, and any configuration may be used as long as it is normally kept in a non-unlockable state and can be unlocked only by manual operation in an emergency. For example, a doorknob and a key (such as a knob 344a1) may be provided separately, and only the key may be covered by a cover member made of a resin member (acrylic plate) or the like that can be broken by applying an artificial external force. In this case, in the above emergency, by artificially breaking the cover member to expose the key (knob 344a1) to the outside, it is possible to switch the emergency lock 344 from the locked state to the unlocked state. Regarding the configuration of the emergency lock 344, not only a configuration in which the cover member is artificially broken to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state, but also, for example, in normal times, the key (such as knob 344a1) is locked in a non-unlockable state by a mechanical locking mechanism, and only in an emergency, a configuration in which the locking mechanism is broken by a manual operation to switch from the locked state to the unlocked state may be used.

[0149] As described above, the release mechanism unit 340 in the third alternative embodiment includes an opening 341 that opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32 (in this alternative embodiment, both the gate main body 31A and the partition wall 32), a panel member 342 made of a high-strength material that cannot be broken by an artificial external force and closes the opening 341, a hinge 343 that supports the panel member 342 so as to be openable and closable from the periphery of the opening 341, and an emergency lock 344 that is held in a non-unlockable state during normal times and can be unlocked only by a manual operation in an emergency.

[0150] With such a configuration, according to the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1 having the release mechanism unit 340 in the third alternative embodiment, for example, in an emergency such as a fire occurring inside the apparatus, by simply unlocking the emergency lock 344 manually, the panel member 342 can be opened, and a part of the gate main body 31A and / or the partition wall 32 can be immediately opened. Therefore, it is possible to more easily access the inside of the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1 from the outside of the apparatus, and the fire extinguishing activity at the initial stage can be immediately carried out.

[0151] Note that the opening mechanism portion 340 in the third alternative embodiment also opens at least a part of the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32. Therefore, for example, one panel member 342 may be provided so as to block the entire inner peripheral side region of the gate frame 31A1, or the panel member 342 may be provided on the entire one side surface of the partition wall 32.

[0152] As described above, one embodiment for embodying the present invention has been explained. However, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments at all, and is merely illustrative. Of course, the present invention can be implemented in various other forms without departing from the gist of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the description in the claims, and further includes the equivalent meaning described in the claims and all modifications within the scope.

[0153] For example, in the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32, two or more opening means according to the present invention are provided, and these two or more opening means are the opening mechanism portion 40 in the present embodiment, the opening mechanism portion 140 in the first alternative embodiment, the opening mechanism portion 240 in the second alternative embodiment, the opening mechanism portion 250 in the modified example of the second alternative embodiment, and the opening mechanism portion 340 in the third alternative embodiment. They may be configured by combining any different ones of them.

[0154] Also, the opening means according to the present invention may be provided only at one location in the gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and the partition wall 32 (that is, the entire surrounding portion 30 that separates the inside and outside of the multi-story parking device 1). That is, for one multi-story parking device 1, the opening means may be provided only at one location. In this case, it is desirable that the size of the opening 41 (141, 241, 251, 341) that can be opened by the opening means is large enough to allow a person to enter the inside of the device. That is, inside the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1, it is also assumed that a fire may occur at a position away from the opening means. If the size of the opening 41 (141, 241, 251, 341) has the sufficient size as described above, firefighters holding a fire extinguisher, a fire hose, etc. can enter the inside of the apparatus through the opening 41 (141, 241, 251, 341) and immediately approach the fire occurrence site to perform fire extinguishing activities.

[0155] In addition, the opening means according to the present invention is preferably disposed at a position 1100 mm or more above the ground (or the underground floor surface when the three-dimensional parking apparatus 1 is located underground) in the closed gate 31 (gate main body 31A) and / or the partition wall 32. By disposing the opening means at such a position, for example, when a fire occurs inside the apparatus, the opening 41 (141, 241, 251, 341) can be immediately opened by the opening means without forcing an unreasonable posture, and fire extinguishing activities at an initial stage (for example, fire extinguishing activities using a fire extinguisher) can be easily performed.

[0156] Furthermore, in the gate 31 (gate main body 31A), when a total of four openings 41·41··· (141·141···, 241·241···, 251·251···, 341·341···) arranged side by side in the vertical and horizontal directions are provided on the inner peripheral portion of the gate frame 31A1, at least the upper openings 41·41 (141·141, 241·241, 251·251, 341·341) are preferably blocked so as to be openable by the opening means according to the present invention. In this case, the lower openings 41·41 (141·141, 241·241, 251·251, 341·341) may also be blocked so as to be openable by the opening means according to the present invention, or may be blocked so as not to be openable by fastening members such as bolts or welding.
