IPC: E04H6/22
Filed: 1993-12-28
Abstract: A system for parking motor vehicles exhibits one or more autonomous parking units (S) which are, in outline, in the form of a sector of a circle. Each unit of this kind is assigned a vehicle lift (10), as mechanical conveying means, having a vertical guide (11) arranged in the region of the vertex of the sector and having a projecting vehicle platform (12) which can pivot over the angle of the sector. The task of the lift (10), within the parking unit (S), is to transport the vehicles vertically and horizontally between an entrance/exit level (1) and parking bays which are located on parking levels beneath and/or above the level (1); the lift (10) is further set up for the radial shifting of the vehicles. Each parking unit (S) is, moreover, assigned means for turning in each case one vehicle on the spot, e.g. one or more rotary platforms (8) on the entrance/exit level (1). The vehicle standing surface (9) of each rotary platform can be optionally lined up in an entrance position, an exit position or such that it is radially aligned with the vehicle platform (12) of the lift. A facility of this type adapts (computer-controlled) very flexibly to various operating situations. When driving out, the vehicles can leave the facility such that they can drive forwards straight away. By virtue of a modular construction method, it is not only round facilities which can be produced, but - always having the same units (S) - also other facility outlines which are adapted to the relevant situation. <IMAGE>
