Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated parking systems, specifically to an automated parking system. Background Technology

[0002] Modern automobile factories typically use automated parking garages with steel structures to create multiple parking spaces. Automated stacker cranes lift vehicles from the garage entrance to the appropriate height, then transport them via rails to a parking surface and finally to the designated parking space. This vehicle storage technology, where a stacker crane receives a vehicle and performs lifting, horizontal transport, and lateral movement before finally storing it in the parking space, limits the cycle time of the automated parking garage, failing to meet the needs of high-speed automobile production lines. Furthermore, the complex structure, high operating speed, and high manufacturing precision requirements of the stacker cranes result in high construction costs and poor economic efficiency for the automated parking garages. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-level parking garage to address the technical deficiencies in the existing technology.

[0004] The technical solution adopted to achieve the purpose of this invention is:

[0005] A multi-level parking garage includes a garage with multiple aisles. Each aisle has multiple parking spaces on both sides. Each aisle has a transport trolley that can move horizontally on a corresponding track at the location of each parking space. Each transport trolley is equipped with a telescopic fork for transferring vehicles and a lifting platform for driving the telescopic fork to rise and fall. The garage has a horizontal vehicle entry and exit transport mechanism on the outside of the vehicle entrance and exit. The horizontal vehicle entry and exit transport mechanism has an elevator on its inside side. The inner side of the horizontal vehicle entry and exit transport mechanism is supported on the elevator. The elevator enables the transfer of vehicles between the high-level transport trolley and the horizontal vehicle entry and exit transport mechanism.

[0006] The conveying trolley is equipped with wheels on both sides, and the wheels are in contact with the track formed by the I-beams.

[0007] The vehicle entrances and exits are multiple, located on the same plane and / or different planes.

[0008] This invention features a conveyor trolley positioned horizontally on a corresponding track at each parking space location within the aisle. Each trolley is equipped with a telescopic fork for transferring vehicles and a lifting platform to drive the fork. A horizontal vehicle entry / exit conveyor mechanism is located outside the vehicle entrance / exit of the garage, with an elevator inside. A portion of the horizontal vehicle entry / exit conveyor mechanism is situated on the elevator, enabling vehicle transfer between the higher-level conveyor trolley and the horizontal vehicle entry / exit conveyor mechanism. This allows the conveyor trolley to move horizontally only at its designated level, significantly simplifying the existing conveyor mechanism in multi-level parking garages. Furthermore, the elevator's operation gives the garage the characteristics of a multi-level parking garage, achieving three-dimensional vehicle storage. Two or more conveyor trolleys positioned on different storage levels can work together, cooperating with the elevator to complete entry and exit operations, especially those involving overlapping entry and exit, meeting high-speed requirements. Therefore, it overcomes the shortcomings of a single stacker crane in meeting the high-speed requirements when it is solely responsible for inbound or outbound operations. Moreover, compared with existing stacker crane-type automated parking systems, the elevator and conveyor trolley have simpler structures and lower construction costs. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0014] See Figure 1-4As shown, a three-dimensional parking garage includes a garage 1 with multiple aisles 14. Each aisle has multi-level parking spaces 10 arranged vertically on both sides for parking vehicles 100. Each aisle has a transport trolley 3 that can move horizontally on a corresponding horizontal track 15 at the position of each parking space. Each transport trolley is equipped with a telescopic fork 31 for transferring vehicles and a lifting platform for driving the telescopic fork to rise and fall. Outside the vehicle entrance and exit of the garage, there is a vehicle horizontal entry and exit transport mechanism 4. Inside the vehicle horizontal entry and exit transport mechanism, there is a lift 17. A part of the inner side of the vehicle horizontal entry and exit transport mechanism is supported on the frame of the lift. The lift can realize the transfer of vehicles between the high-level transport trolley and the vehicle horizontal entry and exit transport mechanism 4.

[0015] Of course, when the parking space and the vehicle horizontal entry and exit conveyor are at the same height, there is no need to use a lift. The vehicle can be directly transferred to the vehicle horizontal entry and exit conveyor 4 by the telescopic fork, or transferred from the vehicle horizontal entry and exit conveyor 4 to the conveyor trolley.

[0016] Specifically, the conveying trolley is equipped with traveling wheels 32 on both sides. The traveling wheels are in contact with the track 15 formed by the I-beams and travel on the track to realize the conveying of the vehicle 100.

[0017] The aforementioned transport trolley can adopt the structure of existing transport trolleys in automated parking garages, with the trolley body structure formed by welding steel plates, equipped with a walking motor and control device, and has remote control function, which enables automatic horizontal movement along the track through remote control.

[0018] The lifting platform is mounted on the frame of the conveying trolley and can be driven to rise or fall by a motor or hydraulic cylinder to drive the telescopic fork mounted on it to rise and fall.

[0019] The telescopic fork can be a multi-stage bidirectional telescopic fork specifically used in existing automated parking garages, which is mounted on the top surface of the lifting platform. Through lifting and telescopic control, the vehicle on the lift can be transferred from the lift to the conveyor trolley, or from the conveyor trolley to the corresponding empty parking space 13, or the vehicle parked in the parking space 13 can be rotated onto the conveyor trolley and then transferred from the conveyor trolley to the lift.

[0020] The skid 2 mounted on the bottom of the vehicle is used by the telescopic fork to move the skid together with the vehicle 100 when moving in and out of the vehicle.

[0021] In this invention, the vehicle horizontal entry and exit conveying mechanism can be an existing vehicle horizontal conveyor used in vehicle production. Driven by a motor, the chain is rotated in both directions to control the movement of the vehicle-carrying plate of the horizontal conveyor, so as to transport the vehicles parked on it into or out of the garage.

[0022] As an improvement, the vehicle entrances and exits are multiple, located on the same plane and / or different planes, such as... Figure 2 As shown, vehicle entrances and exits are set on different planes, and there are two corresponding horizontal vehicle entry and exit conveyor mechanisms located outside the vehicle entrances and exits, such as one located underground and the other above ground.

[0023] The interior of the garage can be equipped with multiple horizontal parking slabs 11, arranged in multiple layers to realize the setting of three-dimensional parking spaces. The multiple horizontal parking slabs are connected by multiple vertically arranged support beams 12 to form the internal structure of the three-dimensional garage. The space 10 between the parking slabs and the support beams forms a parking space.

[0024] The track 15 is installed by a plurality of spaced support plates 16, which are fixed to the side of the support beam or parking plate.

[0025] The automated parking system of this invention can be used by automobile manufacturers to park vehicles on the production line, by related industries to store vehicles, or by companies that operate parking facilities.

[0026] This invention features a conveyor trolley positioned horizontally on a corresponding track at each parking space location within the aisle. Each conveyor trolley is equipped with a telescopic fork and a lifting platform for vehicle transfer. A horizontal vehicle entry / exit conveyor mechanism is located outside the vehicle entrance / exit of the garage, and an elevator is located inside this mechanism. A portion of the inner side of the horizontal vehicle entry / exit conveyor mechanism is supported by the elevator. The elevator facilitates the transfer of vehicles between the higher-level conveyor trolley and the horizontal vehicle entry / exit conveyor mechanism. This allows the conveyor trolley to move horizontally only at its designated level, significantly simplifying the existing conveyor mechanism in automated parking garages. Furthermore, the elevator's assistance gives the garage the characteristics of a multi-level parking garage, enabling three-dimensional vehicle storage. Compared to existing aisle stacker crane-type automated parking garages, this invention offers faster cycle times, simpler structure, and lower construction costs.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
