[0036] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0037] As shown in the figure, a bicycle storage and access garage of the present invention comprises:

[0038] The transmission unit 100 comprises a plurality of first gears 105 with large diameters arranged at intervals and capable of rotating around the same axis, and a crankshaft unit 101 which connects the plurality of first gears together and is supported at a certain height by a plurality of crankshaft rotation support units 101 arranged at intervals. The crankshaft unit forms two crank parts in opposite directions on both sides of each first gear 105, namely, a first crank part 102 and a second crank part 103. Each crank part has a crank shaft and two crank arms 111 in the same direction fixedly connected to the crank shaft. The other end of one crank arm is connected to the crank shaft. The first end of the crank arm is connected to the first connecting shaft 114 in the shaft hole of the first gear 105, the first connecting shaft 114 is rotatably connected to the corresponding crankshaft rotation support unit, and is fixedly connected to the axis of the first gear 105, the other end of the other crank arm is connected to the second connecting shaft 112 on the crankshaft rotation support unit 109 arranged between two adjacent first gears 105, and the second connecting shaft 112 is rotatably connected to the corresponding crankshaft rotation support unit; the first gear 105 is correspondingly meshed with a plurality of small-diameter second gears 108, and a plurality of second gears 103 are fixed on the gear shaft 107;

[0039] The vehicle-carrying unit comprises a plurality of vehicle-carrying plates 200 arranged in parallel at intervals, one end of each of the vehicle-carrying plates 200 being pivotally connected to a crankshaft of the crank part via a pivoting portion 210, and when the crankshaft unit 101 rotates, it can drive the vehicle-carrying plates 200 to synchronously rotate in a vertical space;

[0040] The power unit 300 has a power transmission gear 306, which is meshed with one of the second gears 108 to provide the power required for the movement of the vehicle carrier plate in a manual or electric manner.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the present invention, the bicycle includes a bicycle (or a pedal bike, which usually refers to a two-wheeled small land vehicle, which is powered by pedaling after a person rides on it) and\or a two-wheeled mechatronic electric personal transportation vehicle powered by a battery or auxiliary power - an electric bicycle, etc.; the bicycle or bicycle can be a personal bicycle, or a shared bicycle (a bicycle or bicycle used for sharing services provided by an enterprise in campuses, subway stations, bus stops, residential areas, commercial areas, public service areas, etc., without specific limitations).

[0042] The gear shaft on which the second gear is mounted is supported by a plurality of gear shaft support units formed by a set of two gear shaft support plates 113, which are arranged at intervals and can be connected to the gear shaft by bearings for easy rotation. The plurality of second gears may correspond to being located between the two gear shaft support plates of a gear shaft support unit.

[0043] Specifically, another crank arm of the crank part of the crank unit on the side close to the power unit 300 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft 308 installed on the power transmission gear 306, and another crank arm of the crank part at the other end opposite to the power unit 300 is rotatably connected to the connecting shaft on the outermost crankshaft rotation support unit 101.

[0044] Furthermore, a first bearing 104 is installed on the crankshaft, and the crankshaft is pivotally connected to a pivoting portion 210 at one end of the vehicle carrier plate 200 through the first bearing. Thus, when the crankshaft rotates, the vehicle carrier plate can rotate in a vertical space and move linearly through the cooperation between the pivoting portion 210 and the first bearing. Of course, the first bearing may not be provided.

[0045] Furthermore, the pivot part 210 includes a first pivot part 213 and a second pivot part 214 respectively having a semicircular arc portion, and the first pivot part and the second pivot part can be snapped onto the outside of the first bearing through the semicircular arc portion and fixed by fasteners. This arrangement facilitates installation, wherein the first pivot part 213 is directly connected and fixed to the carrier plate through an extension arm, such as welding.

[0046] Further, the crankshaft rotation support unit includes two support plates 109 arranged in parallel and fixed on the base plate 106, and shaft holes are formed on the two support plates. The first connecting shaft and the second connecting shaft are respectively connected to the shaft holes on the two support plates 109 through a second bearing 110, wherein the first gear wheel 105 is installed between the two support plates of the corresponding crankshaft rotation support unit, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the base plate 108 is fixed to the supporting base plate 111, such as by screws.

[0047] Furthermore, a movable guide wheel 201 is provided at the bottom of the vehicle loading plate 200, and a groove surface is formed on the wheel surface of the movable guide wheel around the axis of the movable guide wheel. The vehicle loading plate can be matched with a linear guide rail 211 arranged on the supporting surface through the groove surface to enable the vehicle loading plate to move on the linear guide rail. This makes it convenient to move the vehicle loading plate in a straight line when storing bicycles.

[0048] Further, as an embodiment, the rear end of the vehicle loading plate, such as Fig.12 The right end shown is formed with an inclined guide portion 203 to facilitate pushing the bicycle onto the vehicle loading plate for parking. Of course, this may not be provided.

[0049] Furthermore, a first wheel limiting hole 209 corresponding to the rear wheel of the bicycle and a second wheel limiting hole 212 corresponding to the front wheel of the bicycle are formed on the plate body of the vehicle loading plate. The two wheel limiting holes can be elliptical holes or other suitable hole shapes to ensure that part of the wheel can enter for limiting. A rotatable parking arc guide plate 202 with one end tilted and the other end in contact with the plate body 204 is installed between the first wheel limiting hole and the second wheel limiting hole near the second wheel limiting side, and the upper surface is a groove-shaped structure that matches the wheel surface of the wheel, which can cover the wheel circumference and the side surface of the wheel body of the bicycle, and the front wheel of the wheel is pressed on the parking arc guide plate and moves forward. After moving, the parking arc guide plate can rotate around the fixed axis after being pressed from above, and the tilted end can be extended into the second wheel limiting hole 212, so as to achieve positioning; after losing the pressure of the front wheel above, it can be controlled by the reset spring 207 to restore to its original state, and a front wheel stopper 205 is fixed to the front of the plate body, which can be formed by bending steel bars or a plate-like body, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front of the plate body, and together with the connected plate body and the second wheel limiting hole, a limiting mechanism for the front wheel is formed to limit the front wheel of the bicycle placed thereon on the outside, and cooperate with the first wheel limiting hole. Through the above scheme, it can effectively prevent the bicycle from falling over when placed on the vehicle loading plate.

[0050] Furthermore, a fixing rod 206 is vertically fixed to the bottom of the parking arc guide plate 202, and a radial axial hole is formed on the fixing rod, which is axially connected to an axial rod 208 in a mounting hole formed on the plate body of the vehicle loading plate and can rotate around the axial rod, and the other end of the fixing rod is connected to one end of a reset spring 207, and the other end of the reset spring 207 can be fixed, such as welded to the bottom of the vehicle loading plate.

[0051] In the present invention, when the power is provided manually, the power transmission gear 306 is connected to the first sprocket 305, and the first sprocket 305 is connected to the second sprocket 308 fixed to the hand wheel 301 through the first chain 302, wherein the hand wheel 301 is fixed to the upper part of the column formed by the two vertical plates 304, the second sprocket 308 is installed in the cavity formed inside the column, and the power transmission gear 306 and the first sprocket 305 are installed in the lower part of the cavity of the column, such as Figure 4 The first sprocket 305 and the power transmission gear 306 are fixed concentrically via a shaft 307 .

[0052] In the present invention, when the power is provided by electric means, the first sprocket 305 is connected to the power output sprocket 402 of the reducer 401 through the second chain 403, and the drive shaft of the reducer is connected to the output shaft of the motor 400 controlled by the switch 500 (the switch 500 is connected to the cable 600 for providing power). The switch 500 can be a button switch or a foot switch, which is not limited to the specific one and can be selected according to different installation environments. If it is to be installed on the ground, a foot switch can be used, or if it is installed on the column, a button switch or a key switch can be used for control, and the power of the motor can be powered by a battery or a mains supply.

[0053] Furthermore, the bicycle storage and access warehouse includes a shed body 800, which has a side portion and a top portion, the side portion and the top portion are connected in an L shape, the top portion is located above the vehicle-carrying unit, the transmission unit and the power unit, and shields the vehicle-carrying unit, the transmission unit and the power unit in a vertical direction, such as Fig.15 shown.

[0054] Since the present invention adopts the above structure, when the bicycle or bike 800 is stored, it is presented as follows: Figure 5 As shown in 14, the front and rear are staggered by a certain distance. Please refer to the position of the pedal 802, which is equivalent to the length of the two crank arms. This will make the position of the basket or basket 801 in front of the bicycle staggered and not parallel, so that the bicycle or bicycle can be accessed and used with a smaller spacing, thereby achieving a compact structure, small footprint and large volume.

[0055] When in use, the bicycle can be first loaded on the odd-numbered loading plate 200 (i.e., the loading plate whose end is close to the warning line 700). After it is full, the power unit is used to drive the transmission unit to rotate manually or electrically, and the second gear of the transmission unit is meshed with the first gear to rotate the crankshaft, thereby driving the loading plate to move in the vertical space. At this time, the crankshaft 117 starts to rotate under the drive of the second sprocket. Under the traction of the crankshaft, the odd-numbered loading plates move in the direction of the crankshaft, and the even-numbered loading plates move away from the crankshaft. When the even-numbered support moves to the position of the ground warning line 700, it stops rotating and the loading plate stops moving. At this time, bicycles can be stored and retrieved from the even-numbered loading plates.

[0056] Similarly, after all the bicycles on the even-numbered loading plates have been used, the crankshaft can be rotated again so that the odd-numbered loading plates move away from the crankshaft and the even-numbered loading plates move toward the crankshaft. When the odd-numbered loading plates move to the ground warning line 700, stop rotating the crankshaft and the loading plates stop moving. At this time, the bicycles on the odd-numbered loading plates can be used.

[0057] Compared with the existing technical equipment, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0058] 1. The bicycle storage and access garage of the present invention fully utilizes the space, and the space utilization rate is increased by more than 130% compared with the traditional bicycle storage and access garage.

[0059] 2. The whole is easy to install, low cost, simple structure, reliable operation, low daily maintenance cost, beautiful appearance and mechanical beauty.

[0060] 3. No groundwork is required during installation, and it can be placed directly in public places such as subway entrances, bus stations, squares, hospital entrances, university campuses, residential areas, etc.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes and modifications. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
