20110123302Parking system for motor vehicles - In order to enable particularly rapid conveyance of motor vehicles in a parking system for motor vehicles even when it is of complicated construction wherein the parking system comprises a pallet changing mechanism in which two guide means for pallets are arranged one above the other and said pallets are displaceable horizontally into said guide means, and also comprises a lifting device which can raise a pallet from the lower guide means into the upper guide means and conversely lower a pallet from the upper guide means into the lower guide means, it is proposed that the pallet changing mechanism be movable by means of a motorised drive between an entry or an exit position in which a pallet in the upper guide means is respectively aligned with the entrance or exit of the parking system on the one hand and between a pallet transfer station in which both guide means that are arranged one above the other of the pallet changing mechanism are aligned with guide means of a rack conveyor or a parking rack on the other, and in that there be provided a control unit which coordinates the movement of the pallet changing mechanism between the entry or exit position and the pallet transfer station and the activation of the lifting device in such a manner that the raising/lowering movement of the pallets in the pallet changing mechanism occurs during the movement of the pallet changing mechanism between the entry or exit position and the pallet transfer station.05-26-2011
20100017016Parking facility for motor vehicles and method of operating same - In a method of operating a parking facility for motor vehicles that comprises fixed parking places arranged above each other and each having a guide for a pallet that is displaceable along the guide as well as a lift, which is disposed alongside the fixed parking places and also carries a guide for a pallet displaceable therein, in which method for displacement of a pallet between the guide of a fixed parking place and the guide of the lift the lift is stopped in such a way alongside a fixed parking place that the guides of the fixed parking place and of the lift are aligned with one another, wherein the guide of the lift at its end facing the fixed parking place is supported on a supporting surface connected to the fixed parking place, in order to improve the aligning of the guide in the lift with the guide in the parking place, it is proposed that the guide of the lift after being set down onto the supporting surface is pivoted about a horizontal parking-place-side pivotal axis, which extends transversely of the displacement direction and is defined by the support point of the guide of the lift on the supporting surface, until the guide of the lift is in a horizontal position.01-21-2010
