Abstract (en)

An automated parking garage has a pair of automobile lifting units (100, 100a) of multi-storied construction, each having a movable middle vehicle carrying pan (102) and a lower stationary vehicle carrying pan (104). The parking garage comprises a multistorey parking building (6) having a number of parking floors arranged on either side of a shaft in which the two lifting units (100, 100a) move. Power from a drive power generating unit (1) is used to drive the lifting units such that one lifting unit ascends as the other descends. Each pan (102, 104) has a pair of vehicle holding conveyor belts (104a), and a main drive shaft (201) for driving the holding conveyor belts also powers a pair of parking conveyor belts (104b) on a parking floor. A timing unit (170) controls the movement of the conveyor belts and causes the holding and parking conveyor belts (104a, 104b) to be stopped after moving a predetermined distance. A roll guider unit (180) is associated with each automobile lifting unit (100, 100a) for bridging the gap between a vehicle holding conveyor belt (104a) and a parking conveyor belt (104b). <IMAGE>
