Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Abstellen mehrerer Fahrzeuge auf mindestens zwei Plattformen übereinander, die zusammen anhebbar, absenkbar und neigbar sind, um wahlweise eine der Plattformen an eine gemeinsame Zufahrt anzuschließen, mit einem an einem Ständer geführten, von einer Hubeinrichtung bewegten Schlitten, an dem die um horizontale Achsen neigbaren und durch Lenker verbundenen Plattformen gelagert sind, wobei eine erste Plattform direkt vom Schlitten getragen und eine zweite Plattform in Bewegungsrichtung des Schlittens beweglich am Schlitten geführt ist.The invention relates to a device for parking several vehicles on top of each other on at least two platforms, which can be raised, lowered and tilted together in order to connect one of the platforms to a common access, with a carriage guided on a stand and moved by a lifting device, on which the platforms which can be tilted about horizontal axes and are connected by links are mounted, a first platform being carried directly by the carriage and a second platform being movably guided on the carriage in the direction of movement of the carriage.

Eine Vorrichtung dieser Gattung ist in der früheren Patentanmeldung des Anmelders DE-A-37 39 286 beschrieben. Dabei ist die erste Plattform, nämlich die untere Plattform, schwenkbar an dem höhenverstellbaren Schlitten gelagert, der mittels eines Hydraulikzylinders anhebbar und absenkbar ist. Die zweite Plattform, nämlich die obere Plattform, ist über Lenker von der unteren Plattform getragen. Die beiden Lenker schließen dabei einen spitzen Winkel ein, derart, daß bei der Neigungsbewegung der unteren Plattform die obere Plattform eine andere Bewegung ausführt. Auf diese Weise läßt sich erreichen, daß in der angehobenen Stellung der beiden Plattformen beide Plattformen im wesentlichen parallel ausgerichtet sind, so daß die untere Plattform optimal zugänglich ist. In der abgesenkten Stellung ist dagegen das einfahrtseitige Ende der oberen Plattform mehr auf die untere Plattform abgesenkt, als das zur Einfahrt abgewandte Ende der oberen Plattform. Die obere Plattform ist dadurch auf einer ansteigenden Bahn befahrbar.A device of this type is described in the earlier patent application by applicant DE-A-37 39 286. The first platform, namely the lower platform, is pivotally mounted on the height-adjustable carriage, which can be raised and lowered by means of a hydraulic cylinder. The second platform, namely the upper platform, is carried by handlebars from the lower platform. The two links enclose an acute angle, such that when the lower platform is tilted, the upper platform performs a different movement. In this way it can be achieved that in the raised position of the two platforms both platforms are aligned essentially parallel, so that the lower platform is optimally accessible. In the lowered position, on the other hand, the entrance-side end of the upper platform is lowered more onto the lower platform than the end of the upper platform facing away from the entrance. The upper platform can thus be driven on an ascending path.

Die unterschiedlichen Neigungen der beiden Plattformen in den verschiedenen Betriebsstellungen erlaubt somit eine optimale Platzausnützung bei gleichzeitig optimaler Zugänglichkeit beider Plattformen. Der Langlochführung zwischen der oberen Plattform und dem Schlitten kommt dabei die Aufgabe zu, diese besondere Bewegung der beiden Plattformen gegeneinander zuzulassen.The different inclinations of the two platforms in the different operating positions thus allows optimal use of space with optimal accessibility of both platforms. The slot guide between the upper platform and the slide has the task of allowing this special movement of the two platforms against each other.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Gattung weiter zu entwickeln und insbesondere baulich zu vereinfachen.The invention has for its object to further develop a device of the type specified and to simplify in particular construction.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung vor, daß, ausgehend von einer Vorrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Gattung, die Neigung der zweiten Plattform in der angehobenen Stellung von einem Anschlag am Schlitten und in der abgesenkten Stellung von einem Anschlag am Ständer bestimmt ist.To achieve this object, the invention proposes that, starting from a device of the type specified at the outset, the inclination of the second platform is determined by a stop on the slide in the raised position and by a stop on the stand in the lowered position.

Die Aufnahme der Stützkräfte für die zweite Plattform mittels des Schlittens bzw. des Ständers ergibt eine gute Einleitung dieser Kräfte in diejenigen Bauteile, die die Plattformen tragen. Es entstehen praktisch keine Biegemomente durch diese Kräfte, vielmehr werden diese Kräfte im wesentlichen in der Ständer-Schlitten-Kombination aufgefangen, an der auch die Hubeinrichtung angreift.The absorption of the support forces for the second platform by means of the slide or the stand results in a good introduction of these forces into those components which carry the platforms. There are practically no bending moments caused by these forces, but rather these forces are essentially absorbed in the stand-slide combination, on which the lifting device also acts.

Bei der Verwirklichung der Erfindung kann sowohl die untere wie die obere Plattform direkt am Schlitten gelagert sein, während dann die andere Plattform in der Bewegungsrichtung des Schlittens am Schlitten geführt ist. Die Erfindung bevorzugt jedoch eine Bauweise, bei der die zweite Plattform die obere Plattform ist, die mit der unteren Plattform auf einer Seite nur mittels eines einzigen Lenkers verbunden ist. Der andere Lenker, der beim vorbekannten Stand der Technik notwendig erschien, kann bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anordnung eingespart werden.In the implementation of the invention, both the lower and the upper platform can be mounted directly on the slide, while the other platform is then guided on the slide in the direction of movement of the slide. However, the invention prefers a construction in which the second platform is the upper platform, which is connected to the lower platform on one side only by means of a single link. The other handlebar, which appeared necessary in the prior art, can be saved in the arrangement according to the invention.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung wirkt in der abgesenkten Stellung und in der teilweise angehobenen Stellung auf die untere Plattform ein Anschlag am Schlitten ein, der eine im wesentlichen horizontale Ausrichtung dieser Plattform sicherstellt. Dieser Anschlag begrenzt also die Bewegungsmöglichkeiten der unteren Plattform um das Gelenk am Schlitten. Da in der unteren Stellung die untere Plattform im allgemeinen im wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtet ist, wird hierdurch wegen des Lenkers und auch durch den entsprechenden Anschlag am Ständer die Ausrichtung der oberen Plattform bestimmt.According to a further feature of the invention, in the lowered position and in the partially raised position, a stop acts on the lower platform on the carriage, which ensures an essentially horizontal alignment of this platform. This stop thus limits the movement of the lower platform around the joint on the slide. Since, in the lower position, the lower platform is generally oriented essentially horizontally, this is because of the handlebar and also because of the corresponding one Stop on the stand determines the orientation of the upper platform.

In der angehobenen Stellung wirkt auf die untere Plattform vorzugsweise ein Zugglied ein, das die geneigte Befahrstellung erzwingt. Dieses Zugglied ist an sich bekannt. Durch die Einstellung der geneigten Befahrstellung für die untere Plattform wird auch die gewünschte Ausrichtung der oberen Plattform erzwungen, und zwar wiederum über den einen Lenker und durch das Zusammenwirken der oberen Plattform mit dem Anschlag am Schlitten.In the raised position, a tension member preferably acts on the lower platform, which forces the inclined driving position. This tension member is known per se. By adjusting the inclined driving position for the lower platform, the desired orientation of the upper platform is also forced, again via one handlebar and by the interaction of the upper platform with the stop on the slide.

Die Erfindung schlägt insbesondere vor, daß das Zugglied mit seinem einen Ende an der Abstützung der Hubeinrichtung angreift. Eine solche Bauweise hat den Vorteil, daß die vom Zugglied ausgeübten Kräfte direkt an Stellen eingeleitet werden, die ohnehin wegen der sonst angreifenden Kräfte ausreichend dimensioniert werden müssen. Dies bringt eine wesentliche bauliche Vereinfachung der Vorrichtung.The invention proposes in particular that the tension member engages with one end on the support of the lifting device. Such a construction has the advantage that the forces exerted by the tension member are introduced directly at points which have to be dimensioned sufficiently anyway because of the otherwise attacking forces. This brings a substantial structural simplification of the device.

Das Zugglied kann an sich eine beliebige Ausbildung besitzen. Es kann als einfache Kette ausgebildet sein, oder auch aus teleskopartig verstellbaren Gliedern, die bis zu einer maximalen Länge ausgezogen werden können. Die Erfindung bevorzugt ein Zugglied, das als Stab ausgebildet ist, der an der unteren Plattform geführt ist und einen einstellbaren Endanschlag aufweist. Um dies zu erreichen, kann beispielsweise ein Stab mit einem Endgewinde oder ein Gewindestab verwendet werden. Mittels des Endanschlages kann die Ausrichtung der Plattformen justiert werden.The tension member can have any training in itself. It can be designed as a simple chain, or also made of telescopically adjustable links that can be extended to a maximum length. The invention prefers a tension member which is designed as a rod which is guided on the lower platform and has an adjustable end stop. To achieve this, for example, a rod with an end thread or a threaded rod can be used. The alignment of the platforms can be adjusted by means of the end stop.

In weiterer Ausbildung der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß an dem oberen Ende des Schlittens und des Ständers Langlochführungen vorgesehen sind, die sich in der abgesenkten Stellung des Schlittens überdecken und mit einem Zapfen an der oberen Plattform zusammenwirken. Die Langlochführungen können beispielsweise nach oben offen sein, was die Montage erleichtert.In a further embodiment of the invention it is proposed that elongated hole guides at the upper end of the carriage and the stand are provided, which overlap in the lowered position of the carriage and interact with a pin on the upper platform. The slot guides can, for example, be open at the top, which simplifies assembly.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung wird vorgeschlagen, daß die die Neigung der oberen Plattform bestimmenden Anschläge jeweils von den unteren Begrenzungen der Langlochführungen gebildet sind.According to a further feature of the invention, it is proposed that the stops determining the inclination of the upper platform are each formed by the lower boundaries of the elongated hole guides.

In der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung schematisch dargestellt. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung in der abgesenkten Stellung, und
  • Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht der Vorrichtung nach der Fig. 1 in der angehobenen Stellung der beiden Plattformen.
In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown schematically. Show it:
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of the device according to the invention in the lowered position, and
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the device of FIG. 1 in the raised position of the two platforms.

Die dargestellte Vorrichtung umfaßt im wesentlichen einen Ständer 6, an dem der Schlitten 4 in der Höhe verschiebbar ist. Der Ständer 6 und der Schlitten 4 sind dabei seitlich der Plattformen 1 und 2 angeordnet, und der Schlitten 4 wird von der als Hydraulikzylinder ausgebildeten Hubeinrichtung 12 angetrieben.The device shown essentially comprises a stand 6 on which the carriage 4 is displaceable in height. The stand 6 and the slide 4 are arranged on the sides of the platforms 1 and 2, and the slide 4 is driven by the lifting device 12 designed as a hydraulic cylinder.

Eine gleiche Anordnung, bestehend aus Schlitten, Ständer und Hubeinrichtung, befindet sich auch auf der anderen Seite der Plattformen 1 und 2, so daß im wesentlichen eine symmetrische Anordnung bezüglich der Mittelebene der beiden Plattformen erhalten wird.A same arrangement, consisting of slide, stand and lifting device, is also on the other side of the platforms 1 and 2, so that essentially a symmetrical Arrangement with respect to the median plane of the two platforms is obtained.

Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Anordnung derart getroffen, daß der Schlitten 4 den zugehörigen Ständer jeweils teilweise umfaßt, so daß eine gute gegenseitige Führung des Schlittens 4 am Ständer 6 erhalten wird, wenn sich der Schlitten 4 unter der Wirkung der Hubeinrichtung 12 längs des Ständers 6 bewegt.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the arrangement is such that the carriage 4 partially surrounds the associated stand, so that good mutual guidance of the carriage 4 on the stand 6 is obtained when the carriage 4 moves along the stand 6 under the action of the lifting device 12 emotional.

Die Hubeinrichtung 12 erstreckt sich zwischen der unteren Abstützung 11 und einer Anlenkstelle 17 am Schlitten.The lifting device 12 extends between the lower support 11 and a pivot point 17 on the slide.

In der Nähe des unteren Endes des Schlittens 4 ist die untere bzw. erste Plattform 1 mittels eines Gelenkes 18 mit dem Schlitten 4 verbunden. Die untere, waagrechte Stellung der unteren Plattform 1 in der abgesenkten Stellung ergibt sich dabei durch die Ausbildung des Bodens der Grube 19, und auch durch den Anschlag 8, der am Schlitten 4 angebracht ist und mit seinem unteren Ende in der abgesenkten Stellung an der Plattform 1 anliegt. In der angehobenen Stellung erlaubt dieser Anschlag 8 eine Neigungsbewegung der unteren Plattform 1 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn.In the vicinity of the lower end of the slide 4, the lower or first platform 1 is connected to the slide 4 by means of a joint 18. The lower, horizontal position of the lower platform 1 in the lowered position results from the formation of the bottom of the pit 19, and also by the stop 8, which is attached to the carriage 4 and with its lower end in the lowered position on the platform 1 is present. In the raised position, this stop 8 allows the lower platform 1 to move counterclockwise.

Zwischen der Abstützung 11 und einem Anlenkpunkt 20 an der unteren Plattform 1 erstreckt sich das Zugglied 9, das mit seinem Ende 10 an der Abstützung 11 angelenkt ist. Das Zugglied 9 ist beispielsweise ein Stab mit einem Endanschlag 13. Bei ausreichender Anhebung der unteren Plattform (vgl. Fig. 2) kommt der Endanschlag 13 in Kontakt mit der Anlenkung 20 und sichert eine begrenzte Schwenkbewegung der unteren Plattform 1 entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn, um die Stellung der Fig. 2 zu erreichen.Between the support 11 and a pivot point 20 on the lower platform 1, the tension member 9 extends, which is hinged at its end 10 to the support 11. The tension member 9 is, for example, a rod with an end stop 13. When the lower platform is raised sufficiently (see FIG. 2), the end stop 13 comes into contact with the linkage 20 and ensures a limited pivoting movement of the lower platform 1 counterclockwise, around the To reach the position of FIG. 2.

Die jeweilige Stellung der oberen Plattform 2 ist jeweils von der Stellung der unteren Plattform abhängig. Zu diesem Zweck ist ein Lenker 7 vorgesehen, der sich zwischen dem Anlenkpunkten 21 und 22 erstreckt. Die obere Plattform 2 greift ferner mit dem Zapfen 16 in die Langlochführung 14 am Schlitten 4 ein. In der abgesenkten Stellung (vgl. Fig. 1) taucht der Zapfen auch in eine kurze Langlochanordnung 15 am Ständer 6 ein. Dadurch ergibt sich, daß in der abgesenkten Stellung (Fig. 1) die obere Plattform 2 eine in der Befahrrichtung (Pfeil 23) leicht ansteigende Neigung besitzt, während in der Befahrstellung der unteren Plattform (Fig. 2) die obere Plattform 2 annähernd parallel zur unteren Plattform 1 verläuft, also eine leichte Neigung besitzt. Die jeweils wirksamen Anschläge sind dabei die Anschläge 3 am Schlitten 4 bzw. der Anschlag 5 am Ständer 6, die durch das jeweilige untere Ende der Langlochführungen 14 und 15 gebildet sind.The respective position of the upper platform 2 depends on the position of the lower platform. For this purpose, a link 7 is provided which extends between the articulation points 21 and 22. The upper platform 2 also engages with the pin 16 in the slot guide 14 on the carriage 4. In the lowered position (see FIG. 1), the pin also dips into a short slot arrangement 15 on the stand 6. This results in that in the lowered position (Fig. 1) the upper platform 2 has a slightly increasing inclination in the direction of travel (arrow 23), while in the driving position of the lower platform (Fig. 2) the upper platform 2 approximately parallel to lower platform 1 runs, so has a slight inclination. The respectively effective stops are the stops 3 on the slide 4 or the stop 5 on the stand 6, which are formed by the respective lower end of the elongated hole guides 14 and 15.

Am Anlenkpunkt 22 des Lenkers 7 an der Plattform 2 greift ferner eine aus dem Doppellenker 24 und einem torsionssteifen Rohr 25 bestehende Gleichlaufeinrichtung an. Diese Gleichlaufeinrichtung hat die Aufgabe, die linke und die rechte Seite der oberen Plattform und damit auch der unteren Plattform parallel zu halten.At the articulation point 22 of the link 7 on the platform 2, a synchronizing device consisting of the double link 24 and a torsionally rigid tube 25 also engages. The purpose of this synchronizing device is to keep the left and right sides of the upper platform and thus also the lower platform parallel.

Wie sich aus den Zeichnungen ergibt, ist der Ständer 6 mit dem Schlitten 4 etwas zu dem Ende der Plattformen 1 und 2 verschoben, das der Einfahrt 26 abgewandt ist. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß in der Regel der Schwerpunkt der leeren Plattformen, aber auch der besetzten Plattformen, zwischen der Einfahrt und den Gelenken und Zapfen 18 und 16 zu liegen kommt, derart, daß der Schwerpunkt jeweils ein Drehmoment im Uhrzeigersinn auf die Plattformen ausübt. Auf diese Weise wird in der Regel die untere Plattform 1 am Anschlag 8 anliegen, wenn nicht das Zugglied 9 wirksam ist.As can be seen from the drawings, the stand 6 with the slide 4 is displaced somewhat towards the end of the platforms 1 and 2 which faces away from the entrance 26. This ensures that the center of gravity of the empty platforms, but also the occupied platforms, comes to rest between the driveway and the joints and pins 18 and 16, such that the center of gravity exerts a clockwise torque on the platforms. That way usually the lower platform 1 abut the stop 8 when the tension member 9 is not effective.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anordnung ist aber auch brauchbar, wenn diese Schwerpunktslage nicht gegeben ist. In diesem Falle kann ein zusätzlicher Anschlag, ähnlich dem Anschlag 8, am Schlitten 4 brauchbar sein, der die Verschwenkbarkeit der unteren Plattform 1 und damit auch der oberen Plattform 2 eingrenzt. Auch andere Mittel zur Begrenzung der Schwenkbewegung können, wenn gewünscht, angewandt werden.However, the arrangement according to the invention can also be used if this center of gravity is not given. In this case, an additional stop, similar to the stop 8, may be usable on the slide 4, which limits the pivotability of the lower platform 1 and thus also of the upper platform 2. Other means of limiting pivotal movement can be used if desired.

Wird die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung aus der in der Fig. 1 dargestellten abgesenkten Lage durch Beaufschlagung der Hubeinrichtung 12 angehoben, bewegt sich zunächst die untere Plattform 1 parallel nach oben. Die obere Plattform 2 verschwenkt um den Zapfen 16 am Anschlag 5 in eine Lage, die etwa parallel ist zur Lage der unteren Plattform 1. Wenn nun der Anschlag 3 am Schlitten 4 wirksam wird und den Zapfen 16 mitnimmt, ergibt sich im wesentlichen eine parallele Anhebung beider Plattformen in etwa horizontaler Ausrichtung. Kommt der Endanschlag 13 am Zugglied 9 zur Anlage am Anlenkpunkt 20 werden sich beide Plattformen verstellen, bis die Lage nach der Fig. 2 erhalten wird.If the device according to the invention is raised from the lowered position shown in FIG. 1 by acting on the lifting device 12, the lower platform 1 first moves in parallel upwards. The upper platform 2 pivots about the pin 16 on the stop 5 in a position which is approximately parallel to the position of the lower platform 1. If the stop 3 on the slide 4 takes effect and takes the pin 16 with it, there is essentially a parallel increase of both platforms in an approximately horizontal orientation. If the end stop 13 on the tension member 9 comes to rest on the articulation point 20, both platforms will adjust until the position according to FIG. 2 is obtained.
