ELEVATOR TYPE PARKING DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an elevator type parking device which is a palette type and capable of enhancing smoothness by shortening a waiting time until the entrance or exiting of a next vehicle in successive entrance, successive entrance and exiting or successive exiting, and a control method therefor.SOLUTION: An elevator type parking device comprises: a cage 12 elevated in a hoistway 3; a storage shelf 14 adjoining the hoistway 3; and a traverse-motion device 16 which can move a palette 2 transversely between the hoistway 3 and storage shelf 14. The traverse-motion device 16 has a movable transverse-motion mechanism 18 provided in the hoistway 3. The movable transverse-motion mechanism 18 is configured to move between a support position F where the mechanism is located inside in a length direction of the palette 2 to support the palette 2 in a transverse motion possible state and a standby position B where the mechanism is located outside in the length direction of the palette 2 to standby from the palette 2.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】パレット方式であって、連続入庫、連続入出庫、又は連続出庫の場合に、次の車両の入庫又は出庫までの待ち時間を短縮して円滑性を高めることができるエレベータ式駐車装置とその制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】昇降路３を昇降するケージ１２と、昇降路３に隣接する格納棚１４と、昇降路３と格納棚１４との間でパレット２を横行可能な横行装置１６とを備える。横行装置１６は、昇降路３に設けられた可動横行機構１８を有する。可動横行機構１８は、パレット２の長さ方向内側に位置してパレット２を横行可能に支持する支持位置Ｆと、パレット２の長さ方向外側に位置してパレット２から退避する退避位置Ｂとの間で移動可能に構成されている。【選択図】図２
