ABSTRACT:
The installation for the parking of motor vehicles has one or several autonomous parking units (S), shaped as sectors of a circle on plan. Each such unit has its own mechanical conveyor system, comprising a car lift (10) with a vertical guide (11) located in the region of the apex of the sector, and a cantilevered vehicle platform (12) that pivots across the angle enclosed by the sector. Within the parking unit (S) the lift (10) provides the vertical and horizontal transport of the vehicles between a drive-in/drive-out level (1) and the parking spaces on parking levels below and/or above level (1); in addition, the lift (10) is equipped for the radial transfer of vehicles. Each parking unit (S) also has its own means for turning vehicles in situ, e.g. one or several turntables or rotary platforms (8) at the drive-in/drive-out level (1). A vehicle-standing area (9) on each turntable or rotary platform can be turned to a drive-in position and a drive-out position and can be aligned radially with the vehicle platform (12) of the lift. A computer-controlled installation of this type is very flexible and readily adaptable to a wide range of operational situations. After being parked, the vehicles can be driven out and leave the parking installation readily without reversing. Because of its modular design, the system is suitable not only for use in buildings that are circular on plan, but also, always with similar units (S), for other layouts to conform to local circumstances.
