Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rearrangement, and particularly to a transporter and a multi-row garage. Background Art

[0002] In a multi-row mechanical stereo garage using a car carrier board as an exchange method, for the existing transporter to take out the vehicle (car carrier board) in the rear row of the multi-row arrangement, it is necessary to first transfer the vehicle (carrier board) in the front row to a fixed turnover parking space before operating on the target vehicle (car carrier board) in the rear row. This process has become one of the key factors restricting the efficiency of the multi-row mechanical garage. Limited by the design of its handling trolley or transporter, existing multi-row garages usually adopt the method of additionally arranging turnover parking spaces or setting up multiple handling trolleys to store the turnover vehicles (car carrier boards), so as to be able to extract the target vehicle located in the multi-row parking spaces. Additionally arranging turnover parking spaces or setting up multiple handling trolleys will cause problems such as a reduction in the effective total number of parking spaces in the multi-row garage, an increase in the number of equipment, an increase in cost, and a decrease in access efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] A main object of the present invention is to overcome at least one defect of the above-mentioned prior art, and to provide a transporter that can avoid a reduction in the total number of parking spaces in a multi-row garage and has a relatively high access efficiency.

[0004] Another main object of the present invention is to overcome at least one defect of the above-mentioned prior art, and to provide a multi-row garage having the above-mentioned transporter.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a transporter movably arranged in a lane of a garage along a first direction. The garage includes a front row of parking spaces and multi-row parking spaces arranged side by side in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction on the side of the lane. The front row of parking spaces and the multi-row parking spaces are respectively used to store car carrier boards. Wherein, the transporter includes a structural frame, two hooking mechanisms, and a transverse transfer and exchange mechanism. The structural frame is driven by a traveling drive mechanism to be movably arranged in the lane, and the structural frame has two loading positions arranged along the first direction. The two hooking mechanisms are arranged on the structural frame and respectively correspond to the two loading positions, and the hooking mechanism is configured to be able to move the car carrier board in the second direction between the front row of parking spaces and the structural frame. The transverse transfer and exchange mechanism is arranged on the structural frame and is configured to be able to move the car carrier board between the two loading positions on the structural frame.

[0007] According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a heavy vehicle garage, including at least one floor of the garage. Each floor of the garage includes a roadway extending in a first direction, and a front row of parking spaces and heavy vehicle parking spaces arranged front and back in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction on the side of the roadway. The front row of parking spaces and the heavy vehicle parking spaces are respectively used for storing vehicle carriers. Wherein, the heavy vehicle garage further includes the transporter proposed by the present invention and described in the above embodiments.

[0008] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the advantages and positive effects of the transporter and the heavy vehicle garage proposed by the present invention are as follows:

[0009] When the transporter proposed by the present invention is applied to a garage, it enables the purpose of simultaneously accessing and storing multiple vehicles without increasing the building occupancy space of the garage itself. In particular, for a garage with heavy vehicle parking spaces arranged in rows, it can quickly turnover the vehicles stored in the heavy vehicle parking spaces to reduce the time for accessing and storing the vehicles in the heavy vehicle parking spaces, and can convert the turnover parking spaces that must be set in the existing heavy vehicle garage into normal use parking spaces to increase the total number of parking spaces in the storage area.

On both sides in the second direction Y (the other horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction X) of the lane 200, there are a plurality of front parking spaces 310, and at least one of the plurality of front parking spaces 310 is adjacent to a heavy train parking space 320 on the side away from the lane 200.

The structures, connection manners and functional relationships of the main components of the transporter 100 and the heavy train garage proposed by the present invention will be described below with reference to the above - mentioned drawings.

[0072] As Figures 4 to 7As shown, in this embodiment, the transporter 100 proposed by the present invention includes a structural frame 110, two hook mechanisms 130, and a transverse transfer mechanism 140. Specifically, the structural frame 110 is driven by a traveling drive mechanism 120 to be movably disposed in the roadway 200. The structural frame 110 has two loading positions 101 arranged along the first direction X. The shape of each loading position 101 is substantially the same as that of the car carrier board. When a car carrier board is carried by the transporter 100, it is located on one of the two loading positions 101. When two car carrier boards are carried by the transporter 100 at the same time, they are respectively located on the two loading positions 101. The structural frame 110 is used to carry other structures of the transporter 100 and is the main load-bearing structure for the vehicle load and the weight of the transporter 100 itself. The two hook mechanisms 130 are disposed on the structural frame 110 and respectively correspond to the two loading positions 101. The hook mechanism 130 can move the car carrier board along the second direction Y, so that the car carrier board moves between the front row of parking spaces 310 and the structural frame 110, realizing the transfer of the car carrier board stored in the front row of parking spaces 310 to the transporter 100, or realizing the transfer of the car carrier board carried by the transporter 100 to the front row of parking spaces 310. The transverse transfer mechanism 140 is disposed on the structural frame 110, and the transverse transfer mechanism 140 can move the car carrier board between the two loading positions 101 on the structural frame 110. Through the above design, when the transporter 100 proposed by the present invention is applied to a garage, the purpose of simultaneously storing and retrieving multiple cars (multiple car carrier boards) can be achieved without increasing the building occupancy space of the garage itself. In particular, for a garage with the parking spaces arranged in multiple rows, the vehicles (car carrier boards) stored in the rapid turnover multiple-row parking spaces 320 can be quickly turned over, so as to reduce the time for storing and retrieving the vehicles in the multiple-row parking spaces 320, and the turnover parking spaces that must be provided in the existing multiple-row garages can be converted into normal-use parking spaces to increase the total number of parking spaces in the storage area.

[0073] Preferably, as Figures 8 to 10 shown, in this embodiment, the structural frame 110 may preferably include a frame body 111 and two groups of guardrails 112. Specifically, the two groups of guardrails 112 are respectively disposed on both sides of the frame body 111 along the first direction X. On this basis, the hook mechanism 130 and the transverse transfer mechanism 140 are respectively disposed on the frame body 111. In other embodiments, one of the hook mechanism 130 and the transverse transfer mechanism 140 may be disposed on the frame body 111, and the other may be disposed on the structural frame 110 through other structures. Furthermore, the structural frame 110 may also include other structures in addition to the frame body 111 and the guardrails 112, and is not limited to this embodiment.

[0074] Furthermore, based on the design that the structural frame 110 includes the frame body 111 and the guardrails 112, in this embodiment, the frame body 111 and the guardrails 112 may respectively preferably be built mainly by using profiles, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing.

[0075] Preferably, as Figure 11 shown, in this embodiment, the traveling drive mechanism 120 may preferably include a pair of driving wheels 121 and a pair of driven wheels 122. Specifically, the two driving wheels 121 of the same pair are respectively disposed on both sides of the structural frame 110 in the second direction Y, and are respectively driven by driving members 1211. The two driven wheels 122 of the same pair are respectively disposed on both sides of the structural frame 110 in the second direction Y, and the driven wheels 122 and the driving wheels 121 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. Among them, the driving wheels 121 and the driven wheels 122 are respectively engaged with the tracks 210 respectively disposed on both sides of the roadway 200 along the second direction Y. In other embodiments, the traveling drive mechanism 120 may also include multiple pairs of driving wheels 121, and the multiple pairs of driving wheels 121 are arranged at intervals in the first direction X, and the synchronous rotation of the multiple pairs of driving wheels 121 can be realized by using a coupling mechanism arranged along the first direction X, for example. Furthermore, the traveling drive mechanism 120 may also include multiple pairs of driven wheels 122, and the multiple pairs of driven wheels 122 are arranged at intervals in the first direction X. In addition, the traveling drive mechanism 120 may also only include at least two pairs of driving wheels 121 without including driven wheels 122. When at least one of the driving wheels 121 and the driven wheels 122 is multiple pairs, the driving wheels 121 and the driven wheels 122 may be arranged at intervals in sub-regions in the first direction X, or may be arranged alternately at intervals, and all are not limited to this embodiment.

[0076] Furthermore, as Figure 11 shown, based on the design that the traveling drive mechanism 120 includes a pair of driving wheels 121 and a pair of driven wheels 122, in this embodiment, the driving wheels 121 may preferably be disposed on both sides of one end of the structural frame 110 (such as the frame body 111) in the first direction X. Correspondingly, the driven wheels 122 may preferably be disposed on both sides of the other end of the structural frame 110 (such as the frame body 111) in the first direction X.

[0077] Furthermore, as Figure 11 shown, based on the design that the traveling drive mechanism 120 includes a pair of driving wheels 121, in this embodiment, a synchronizing shaft 1212 may preferably be connected between the two driving wheels 121 of the same pair to enable the two driving wheels 121 to rotate synchronously, ensure that the traveling actions on both sides in the moving direction are consistent, and avoid deviating from the track 210. Furthermore, when the driving member 1211 for driving the driving wheels 121 is a motor, two motors may be respectively connected to the driving wheels 121 in a coaxial manner, and the synchronizing shaft 1212 may be connected between the rotating shafts of the two motors, so as to realize the synchronous drive of the two motors for the two driving wheels 121.

[0078] Furthermore, as Figure 11As shown, based on the design that the walking drive mechanism 120 includes a pair of driving wheels 121 and a pair of driven wheels 122, in this embodiment, the walking drive mechanism 120 may also preferably include two pairs of side guide wheels 123. Specifically, the two pairs of side guide wheels 123 are arranged at intervals in the first direction X. The two side guide wheels 123 of the same pair are respectively arranged on both sides of the structural frame 110 in the second direction Y, and the two side guide wheels 123 are respectively guided and slidably matched with the tracks 210 on both sides. Accordingly, the side guide wheels 123 can be used as walking auxiliary devices, which are installed below the surface of the track 210 and contact the inner side of the track 210, so as to mechanically ensure that the walking wheels (driving wheels 121 and driven wheels 122) will not leave the track 210 during the walking movement. In other embodiments, the walking drive mechanism 120 may also include a pair of side guide wheels 123 or more than two pairs of side guide wheels 123, which are not limited to this embodiment.

[0079] Preferably, if Figures 12 to 16 As shown, in this embodiment, each hooking mechanism 130 may preferably include a skeleton 131 and a hooking device 133. Specifically, the skeleton 131 is disposed on the structural frame 110, and the skeleton 131 can move on the structural frame 110 along the second direction Y. The hooking device 133 is disposed on the skeleton 131, and the hooking device 133 can hook the vehicle loading plate and move the vehicle loading plate between the front parking space 310 and the structural frame 110 along the second direction Y. The center distance between the two hooking devices 133 of the two sets of hooking mechanisms 130 is equal to the center distance between two adjacent parking spaces (two adjacent front parking spaces 310, or two adjacent heavy train spaces 320).

[0080] Furthermore, if Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, based on the design of the hooking mechanism 130 including the skeleton 131 and the hooking device 133, in this embodiment, the hooking device 133 may preferably include two pairs of sprockets 1331, two driving sprockets 1332, two chains, and a hooking shaft 1335. Specifically, the two pairs of sprockets 1331 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y, and the two sprockets 1331 in the same pair are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The two driving sprockets 1332 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X and are driven by a driving motor 1333. The two driving sprockets 1332 are located between the two pairs of sprockets 1331. One chain is wound between two sprockets 1331 on the same side in the second direction Y and a driving sprocket 1332, and the other chain is wound between the other two sprockets 1331 on the other side in the second direction Y and the other driving sprocket 1332. Accordingly, from the end face of each sprocket, the tooth tops or tips of each pair of sprockets 1331 completely coincide, so that the two chains move synchronously. The hooking shaft 1335 is connected between the two chains along the first direction X. Since the two driving sprockets 1332 are driven by a driving motor 1333 to achieve synchronous rotation, the rotation of the two chains around the respective sprockets they are wound around is a synchronous action. Therefore, during the movement of the hooking shaft 1335 along with the two chains, it can always maintain a state of extending substantially along the first direction X, thereby achieving the best hooking effect. Correspondingly, a card slot 410 may preferably be provided at the bottom of the car carrier plate 400. The hooking shaft 1335 is engaged with the card slot 410, so that the hooking mechanism 130 can be used to realize the picking and placing movement of the car carrier plate 400 in the second direction Y.

[0081] Further, as Figure 15 and Figure 16 shown, based on the design of the hooking device 133 including two pairs of sprockets 1331, two driving sprockets 1332, and two chains, in this embodiment, the hooking mechanism 130 may also preferably include two pairs of tension sprockets 1334. Specifically, the two pairs of tension sprockets 1334 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. One pair of tension sprockets 1334 is located between one pair of sprockets 1331 and the two driving sprockets 1332, and the other pair of tension sprockets 1334 is located between the other pair of sprockets 1331 and the two driving sprockets 1332. The two tension sprockets 1334 in the same pair are arranged at intervals along the first direction X and are respectively wound by the two chains. Accordingly, the two pairs of tension sprockets 1334 can realize the tensioning function of the two chains.

[0082] Further, as Figures 12 to 14As shown, based on the design that the framework 131 can move along the second direction Y on the structural frame 110, in this embodiment, the framework 131 can preferably move along the second direction Y on the structural frame 110 through a translation mechanism 132. Specifically, the translation mechanism 132 can preferably include a translation motor 1321 and a translation rack. The translation motor 1321 is disposed on the structural frame 110, and the translation motor 1321 is drivingly connected to a translation gear 1322. The translation rack is disposed on the framework 131 and extends along the second direction Y, and the translation rack cooperates with the translation gear 1322. In other embodiments, the framework 131 can also adopt other transmission structures to replace the gear-rack transmission structure in this embodiment. As the design of the translation mechanism 132 for realizing that the framework 131 can be movably disposed on the structural frame 110 along the second direction Y, it is not limited to this embodiment.

[0083] Further, as Figures 12 to 14 shown, based on the design that the framework 131 is movably disposed on the structural frame 110 through the translation mechanism 132, in this embodiment, the translation mechanism 132 can also preferably include a guide wheel 1323. Specifically, the guide wheel 1323 is disposed on the structural frame 110, and a guide groove is formed on the periphery of the guide wheel 1323. A part of the structure of the framework 131 is in guiding cooperation with the guide wheel 1323 to guide the framework 131 through the guide wheel 1323 when the framework 131 moves relative to the structural frame 110 along the second direction Y.

[0084] Further, as Figure 7 shown, based on the design that the hooking mechanism 130 includes the framework 131 and a hooking device 133, in this embodiment, the hooking mechanism 130 can also preferably include an auxiliary guide wheel 134. The auxiliary guide wheel 134 is disposed on the framework 131 to slidably cooperate with the car carrier plate when the car carrier plate moves on the framework 131.

[0085] Preferably, as Figures 17 to 20As shown, in this embodiment, the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140 may preferably include a power unit 141. Specifically, the power unit 141 includes a first frame 1411 and a set of transmission rollers. The first frame 1411 is disposed on the structural frame 110, and connection interfaces for mounting each roller of the set of transmission rollers are provided on the first frame 1411. The set of transmission rollers is disposed on the first frame 1411 and is driven by a transverse movement motor 1412. Accordingly, the power unit 141 can adjustably carry the car carrier plate moved to the loading position 101, and move the car carrier plate between the two loading positions 101 through the set of transmission rollers. Through the above design, the relative position of the car carrier plate on the transporter 100 can be exchanged according to actual needs (for example, the exchange between the two loading positions 101), so as to flexibly transform the space on the transporter 100 into a turnover parking space or a temporary parking space as needed, and at the same time achieve the purpose of reducing the number of fixed turnover parking spaces in the heavy-duty vehicle garage, increasing the total number of available parking spaces in the storage area, and simultaneously accessing and storing multiple vehicles.

[0086] Further, as Figure 17 shown, based on the design that the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140 includes the power unit 141, in this embodiment, the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140 may preferably include two sets of power units 141. Specifically, the two sets of power units 141 respectively correspond to the two loading positions 101, and the distance between the two sets of power units 141 in the first direction X is less than the width of the car carrier plate in the first direction X. On this basis, during the process of moving the car carrier plate on any one loading position 101 to another loading position 101, when the car carrier plate starts to move, it can be moved by at least one set of power units 141 corresponding to this loading position 101. When the car carrier plate partially moves into another loading position 101, it can be jointly moved by the two sets of power units 141 for a certain distance. When the car carrier plate continues to move towards another loading position 101, it disengages from the previous set of power units 141 and is only moved by the other set of power units 141 corresponding to this other loading position 101. Accordingly, it is possible to realize the movement of the car carrier plate between the two loading positions 101 only through the two sets of power units 141 in the first direction X. When the position of the car carrier plate is transversely transferred and exchanged, at least two power units 141 are ensured to be in contact with the car carrier plate at all times in the first direction X, so as to realize the transverse transfer and exchange of the car carrier plate. At the same time, the power units 141 can be arranged in the middle position, which can reduce the number of power units 141 while ensuring the above functions, so as to reduce costs. In other embodiments, the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140 may also include more than two sets of power units 141, and is not limited to this embodiment.

[0087] Further, as Figure 17As shown, based on the design that the lateral transfer and exchange mechanism 140 includes two sets of power units 141, in this embodiment, each set of power units 141 may include multiple (shown as two in the drawings), and multiple power units 141 in the same set may preferably be arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. Additionally, in this embodiment, the number of power units 141 in each of the two sets of power units 141 may be, but is not limited to, equal.

[0088] Furthermore, as Figures 18 to 20 shown, based on the design that the power unit 141 includes a transmission roller group, in this embodiment, the transmission roller group may preferably include two end rollers 1413, an intermediate roller 1414, and a belt 1415. Specifically, the two end rollers 1413 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X on the first frame 1411, and at least one of the end rollers 1413 is drivingly connected to the lateral movement motor 1412. The intermediate roller 1414 is arranged on the first frame 1411 and is located between the two end rollers 1413. The belt 1415 is wound around the end rollers 1413 and the intermediate roller 1414. In other embodiments, the transmission roller group may also only include the end rollers 1413 without arranging the intermediate roller 1414. When the transmission roller group includes the intermediate roller 1414, the number of intermediate rollers 1414 may be one or more, and when the transmission roller group includes multiple intermediate rollers 1414, the multiple intermediate rollers 1414 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X between the two end rollers 1413, all without being limited to this embodiment.

[0089] Furthermore, as Figures 18 to 20 shown, based on the design that the transmission roller group includes the end rollers 1413, the intermediate roller 1414, and the belt 1415, in this embodiment, the transmission roller group may also preferably include a tensioning roller 1416. Specifically, the tensioning roller 1416 is arranged on the first frame 1411, the tensioning roller 1416 is located between the two end rollers 1413, and is located below the intermediate roller 1414. On this basis, to facilitate the arrangement of the tensioning roller 1416 and the intermediate roller 1414, the diameter of the intermediate roller 1414 may preferably be smaller than the diameter of the end rollers 1413, and the diameter of the tensioning roller 1416 may preferably be smaller than the diameter of the end rollers 1413.

[0090] Furthermore, as Figures 18 to 20 、 Figures 24 to 26 shown, based on the design that the lateral transfer and exchange mechanism 140 includes the power unit 141, in this embodiment, the power unit 141 may preferably include a first lifting mechanism 143. Specifically, the first lifting mechanism 143 is arranged between the first frame 1411 of the power unit 141 and the structural frame 110, and can drive the first frame 1411 to lift relative to the structural frame 110, thereby realizing the lifting function of the power unit 141.

[0091] Further, as Figures 24 to 26 shown, based on the design that the power unit 141 includes the first lifting mechanism 143, in this embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 143 may preferably include a lower slide rail 1431, an upper slide rail 1432, a lifting fork frame 1433, and a hydraulic cylinder 1434. Specifically, the lower slide rail 1431 is disposed on the structural frame 110. The upper slide rail 1432 is disposed on the first frame body 1411 and is located above the lower slide rail 1431. The lifting fork frame 1433 is disposed between the lower slide rail 1431 and the upper slide rail 1432. The lifting fork frame 1433 includes two fork arms. The middle parts of the two fork arms are hinged. The lower end of one fork arm is hinged to the lower slide rail 1431, and the upper end is slidably disposed on the upper slide rail 1432. The upper end of the other fork arm is hinged to the upper slide rail 1432, and the lower end is slidably disposed on the lower slide rail 1431. The hydraulic cylinder 1434 is connected between the lower slide rail 1431 and one fork arm and is driven by a hydraulic system. Among them, the hydraulic system provides power for the first lifting mechanism 143. The cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 1434 is fixedly connected to the lower slide rail 1431 of the first lifting mechanism 143. The piston of the hydraulic cylinder 1434 is connected to the upper section of one fork arm of the lifting fork frame 1433. By using the telescoping of the piston relative to the cylinder body, and based on the relative fixation of the lower slide rail 1431 and the structural frame 110, the lifting action of the upper slide rail 1432 of the first lifting mechanism 143 can be realized, thereby realizing the lifting action of the power unit 141 (the first frame body 1411) relative to the structural frame 110.

[0092] Further, as Figures 24 to 26 shown, based on the design that the first lifting mechanism 143 includes a lower slide rail 1431, an upper slide rail 1432, and a lifting fork frame 1433, in this embodiment, a pulley 1435 may preferably be disposed at the upper end of one fork arm of the lifting fork frame 1433, so that this fork arm can be slidably disposed on the upper slide rail 1432 with the pulley 1435.

[0093] Further, as Figures 24 to 26 shown, based on the design that the first lifting mechanism 143 includes a lower slide rail 1431, an upper slide rail 1432, and a lifting fork frame 1433, in this embodiment, a pulley 1435 may preferably be disposed at the lower end of the other fork arm of the lifting fork frame 1433, so that the other fork arm can be slidably disposed on the lower slide rail 1431 with the pulley 1435.

[0094] It should be noted that, as Figures 24 to 26As shown, in this embodiment, each power unit 141 includes two sets of the above-mentioned first lifting mechanisms 143. Specifically, the two sets of first lifting mechanisms 143 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y, and the two upper slide rails 1432 of the two sets of first lifting mechanisms 143 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first frame body 1411. On this basis, a connecting plate or a connecting shaft can be connected between the two lower slide rails 1431 of the two sets of first lifting mechanisms 143. The hinged positions of the two lifting fork frames 1433 can be connected by sharing a hinge shaft. A connecting shaft can be connected between the corresponding fork arms of the two lifting fork frames 1433 (for example, a connecting shaft is connected between the upper ends of the corresponding two fork arms and a connecting shaft is connected between the lower ends), so as to realize the synchronous lifting of both sides of the first frame body 1411 by the two sets of first lifting mechanisms 143.

[0095] In other words, as Figures 24 to 26 shown, in this embodiment, a set of lifting structures of the power unit 141 includes an upper part, a middle part and a lower part. Among them, the bottom mainly includes two symmetrically placed channel steels (i.e., two lower slide rails 1431) fixed and installed on the structural frame 110 at a certain distance. Its function is to provide support for the entire power unit 141 and the load (carriage board) and serve as the track 210 for the bottom movable fulcrum of the first lifting mechanism 143. The middle part is the above-mentioned lifting fork frame 1433. The upper part is similar to the bottom, including two symmetrically placed channel steels (i.e., two upper slide rails 1432) at a certain distance. The distance between them is smaller than the distance between the two channel steels at the bottom. Its function is also to provide support and serve as the track 210 for the top movable fulcrum of the first lifting mechanism 143. Accordingly, the channel steels and rods of the upper, middle and lower parts are symmetrically arranged to form two sets of first lifting mechanisms 143, which are connected by a connecting shaft or a connecting plate therebetween to ensure the stability of the entire first lifting mechanism 143.

[0096] Furthermore, as Figure 17 、 Figures 21 to 23 shown, based on the design that the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140 includes the power unit 141, in this embodiment, the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140 may preferably further include a non-power unit 142. Specifically, the non-power unit 142 includes a second frame body 1421 and a driven roller group. The second frame body 1421 is arranged on the structural frame 110, and connection interfaces for installing each roller of the driven roller group are arranged on the second frame body 1421. The driven roller group is arranged on the second frame body 1421. Compared with the power unit 141, the driven roller group of the non-power unit 142 is not connected to a driving member and does not have an active rotation function. When the carriage board is moved by the power unit 141 of the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140, the carriage board is simultaneously carried on the driven rollers of the non-power unit 142, so that each roller of the driven roller can rotate passively.

[0097] Furthermore, asFigure 17 As shown, based on the design that the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140 includes a power unit 141 and a non-power unit 142, in this embodiment, the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140 may preferably include two groups of power units 141 and two groups of non-power units 142. Specifically, the two groups of power units 141 respectively correspond to two loading positions 101. Multiple power units 141 in the same group are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. The distance between the two groups of power units 141 in the first direction X is less than the width of the car carrier plate in the first direction X. The two groups of power units 141 are respectively located in the middle of the structural frame 110. The two groups of non-power units 142 respectively correspond to two loading positions 101. Multiple non-power units 142 in the same group are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. The two groups of non-power units 142 are respectively located at both ends of the structural frame 110 in the first direction X.

[0098] Furthermore, as Figures 21 to 23 shown, based on the design that the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140 includes a non-power unit 142, in this embodiment, the non-power unit 142 may preferably further include a second lifting mechanism 144. Specifically, the lifting structure is arranged between the second frame body 1421 and the structural frame 110 to drive the second frame body 1421 to lift relative to the structural frame 110, so as to realize the lifting function of the non-power unit 142 relative to the structural frame 110. In this embodiment, the second lifting mechanism 144 of the non-power unit 142 may adopt the same or similar design as the first lifting mechanism 143 of the power unit 141, and the first lifting mechanisms 143 of each power unit 141 and the second lifting mechanisms 144 of each non-power unit 142 may preferably adopt a synchronous lifting design, which will not be elaborated here.

[0099] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the car carrier plate moves from the front row parking space 310 to a loading position 101 of the structural frame 110, it is realized by the hook device 133 of a hooking mechanism 130 corresponding to this loading position 101, and during the moving process, the hook shaft 1335 of this hooking mechanism 130 is stuck in the card slot 410 at the bottom of the car carrier plate (the notch of the card slot 410 shown in the drawing faces downward). Therefore, when it is necessary to move the car carrier plate to another loading position 101, the first lifting mechanism 143 and the second lifting mechanism 144 can be used to lift the power unit 141 and the non-power unit 142, so that the transmission roller group and the driven roller group respectively contact and bear the bottom of the car carrier plate and lift it to a certain height, so that the card slot 410 is separated from the hook shaft 1335 as the car carrier plate is lifted, facilitating the transverse transfer and exchange mechanism 140 to further perform transverse transfer on the car carrier plate. In other embodiments, when using a hook device 133 with other structures, the above-mentioned first lifting mechanism 143 and second lifting mechanism 144 of the power unit 141 and the non-power unit 142 can also be selectively set, and are not limited to this embodiment.

[0100] It should be noted here that the transporter 100 shown in the drawings and described in this specification is only a few examples of many transporters 100 that can adopt the principles of the present invention. It should be clearly understood that the principles of the present invention are by no means limited to any details of the transporter 100 shown in the drawings or described in this specification or any components of the transporter 100.

[0101] Based on the above detailed description of an exemplary embodiment of the transporter 100 proposed by the present invention, an exemplary embodiment of the heavy vehicle garage proposed by the present invention will be described below.

[0102] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in this embodiment, the heavy vehicle garage proposed by the present invention includes at least one layer of garage. Each layer of the garage includes a roadway 200 extending in a first direction X. On both sides of the roadway 200 in a second direction Y perpendicular to the first direction X, there are a plurality of front parking spaces 310. At least one of the plurality of front parking spaces 310 is adjacent to a heavy vehicle parking space 320 on the side away from the roadway 200. The front parking spaces 310 and the heavy vehicle parking spaces 320 are respectively used to store vehicle carriers. On this basis, the heavy vehicle garage proposed by the present invention further includes the transporter 100 proposed by the present invention and described in detail in the above embodiment.

[0103] Preferably, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, in this embodiment, the heavy vehicle garage proposed by the present invention may preferably include multiple layers of garages. The roadway 200 may preferably penetrate multiple layers of garages in the height direction and extend in the first direction X. The transporter 100 proposed by the present invention is provided in the roadway 200 of each layer of the garage. An elevator system 500 may be provided on one side of the roadway 200 in the second direction Y to realize the lifting of the target vehicle (vehicle carrier) to be retrieved or placed between different layers, and the part of the elevator system 500 located in the bottom layer of the garage may serve as or communicate with the vehicle entrance and exit of the entire garage. Specifically, the elevator system 500 may be arranged in a vertical shaft penetrating all parking space layers and can transport vehicles between the garage entrance and exit layer and the target parking space layer. At this time, the part of the lift shaft at the entrance and exit layer serves as the entrance and exit of the garage. On this basis, in addition to realizing the vehicle access function of each parking space on this layer of the garage, the transporter 100 can also transport vehicles between the parking spaces and the elevator system 500.

[0104] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, based on the above design of the elevator system 500, in order to realize the function of simultaneously storing or retrieving two vehicles in the heavy vehicle garage proposed by the present invention and at the same time realizing the function of one storage and one retrieval, in this embodiment, the heavy vehicle garage may preferably include at least two elevator systems 500.

[0105] Preferably, in the present embodiment, the heavy vehicle garage proposed by the present invention is also provided with one or more entrances and exits. Specifically, the entrance and exit can be arranged on one of the floors of the heavy vehicle garage (not limited to the lowest floor. For example, when the overall garage adopts a sunken design, the entrance and exit can also be arranged on the top floor), and is connected to the part of the elevator system 500 (elevator shaft) on this floor. Furthermore, when there are multiple entrances and exits in the heavy vehicle garage, the multiple entrances and exits can be arranged on the same floor of the garage, or can be arranged on different floors of the garage.

[0106] In addition, as Figure 1 shown, the turnover parking space 330 of the existing heavy vehicle garage is also representatively shown in the drawings. In the existing heavy vehicle garage, in order to pick up and place the car carrier of the heavy vehicle parking space 320, it is necessary to first move the car carrier of the adjacent front row parking space 310 to the turnover parking space 330. Of course, according to the above design of the present invention, the turnover parking space 330 is not required to be provided for the heavy vehicle parking space 320 proposed by the present invention, and the turnover parking space 330 can be used as an actual parking space, thus effectively increasing the number of parking spaces.

[0107] It should be noted here that the heavy vehicle garages shown in the drawings and described in this specification are only a few examples of the many heavy vehicle garages that can adopt the principles of the present invention. It should be clearly understood that the principles of the present invention are by no means limited to any details of the heavy vehicle garages shown in the drawings or described in this specification or any components of the heavy vehicle garage.

[0108] For example, in the present embodiment, the heavy vehicle garage proposed by the present invention may also include corresponding electrical, software and other control systems, which will not be elaborated here.

[0109] As mentioned above, when the transporter 100 proposed by the present invention is applied to a heavy vehicle garage, several different pick-up and placement functions can be realized. Based on the above detailed description of the transporter 100 and the heavy vehicle garage proposed by the present invention, the following will be combined with Figures 27 to 30 to illustrate several typical functional scenarios.

[0110] As Figure 27 shown, it representatively shows a partial schematic diagram of one floor of the heavy vehicle garage proposed by the present invention. Taking this part of the garage as an example, when it is necessary to take out the vehicle (car carrier) stored in one of the front row parking spaces 310 and an adjacent heavy vehicle parking space 320, the general process is as follows:

[0111] When the user interface of the garage receives the commands to extract two vehicles located on the adjacent front row parking space 310 and heavy vehicle parking space 320 simultaneously or within a short time interval, all systems of the garage start to enter the working state. Then, as Figure 28As shown, the control system controls the carrier 100 to travel along the tracks 210 on both sides of the roadway 200 to the position of the target parking space, and controls one of the carrying positions 101 of the carrier 100 to align with the target parking space. The control system controls the hook device 133 of the hooking mechanism 130 arranged corresponding to the carrying position 101 of the carrier 100 to hook and move the car carrier of the front row parking space 310 of the target parking space onto the carrying position 101. During the movement of the car carrier of the front row parking space 310, the car carrier originally stored in the heavy train parking space 320 moves along the second direction Y towards the carrier 100 through the linkage device, and after the previous car carrier moves to the carrier 100, the next car carrier is parked in the front row parking space 310. Then, as Figure 29 shown, the control system controls the transverse transfer mechanism 140 of the carrier 100 to move the car carrier located in one carrying position 101 along the first direction X to another carrying position 101, so that the carrying position 101 aligned with the target parking space is vacated again. Finally, as Figure 30 shown, the control system controls the hook device 133 of the hooking mechanism 130 of the carrier 100 to hook and move the second car carrier of the target parking space onto the vacated carrying position 101. At this time, the carrier 100 moves to be centered with one of the elevator systems 500, and moves the target car carrier to the elevator system 500 through one of the hooking mechanisms 130. Then, the carrier 100 moves to be centered with the other elevator system 500 and repeats the above actions, so that the two target vehicles are respectively moved into the two elevator systems 500. The two elevator systems 500 lift the car carriers carrying the target vehicles to the garage provided with entrances and exits for the users to pick up. Thus, the one-time pick-up of the two vehicles stored in the adjacent front row parking space 310 and heavy train parking space 320 is roughly completed.

[0112] It should be noted that when two vehicles are stored at the same time and the two vehicles are parked in the adjacent front row parking space 310 and heavy train parking space 320, the specific implementation manner of this parking function can be deduced based on the above pick-up process and will not be elaborated here.

[0113] When the user interface of the garage receives commands to store two vehicles simultaneously or within a short time interval, all systems of the garage start to enter the working state. First, the entrance and exit doors open, and the vehicles enter the entrance and exit. After the user leaves, the lift system 500 raises the car carrier carrying the target vehicle to the target parking space floor automatically allocated by the system. At this time, the transporter 100 moves to align with the center of one of the lift systems 500, and hooks the target car carrier to the transporter 100 through one set of hooking mechanisms 130. Then, the transporter 100 moves to align with the center of the other lift system 500 and repeats the above actions until both target vehicles are hooked onto the transporter 100. After that, the transporter 100 moves along the roadway 200 to two adjacent target parking spaces, and makes the two sets of hooking mechanisms 130 align with the centers of the two target parking spaces respectively. At this time, the hooking mechanisms 130 can simultaneously store the two target vehicles in the target parking spaces automatically allocated by the system, ending the vehicle storage process of storing two vehicles simultaneously.

[0114] It should be noted that when two vehicles are retrieved simultaneously, and the two vehicles parked in two adjacent front-row parking spaces 310 are retrieved simultaneously, the specific implementation method of this retrieval function can be inferred by reversing the above storage process and will not be elaborated here.

[0115] When using the proposed transporter 100, through the actions of the lateral transfer and exchange mechanism 140 of the transporter 100 and the settings of the two sets of hooking mechanisms 130, in addition to being able to perform general storage and retrieval operations, the multi-story garage can at least achieve the following multiple functional scenarios:

[0116] Simultaneously store or retrieve two target vehicles at any position on the same floor of the multi-story garage as needed, or perform the operation of "one storage and one retrieval" of two vehicles at the same time, that is, the operations of vehicle storage and retrieval are carried out simultaneously;

[0117] In the multi-story garage, in order to retrieve the target vehicle (car carrier) on the rear-row multi-story parking space 320, without setting the fixed turnover parking space of the existing multi-story garage and without the need for the transporter 100 to move, the front-row vehicle (car carrier) can be first moved to the "turnover parking space" (i.e., one of the carrying positions 101) on the transporter 100 to achieve rapid turnover (the turnover method without moving the transporter 100 in this scenario is hereinafter referred to as "fixed turnover"), and then the operation of retrieving the rear-row target vehicle is carried out. Specifically, take the carrying position 101 corresponding to one set of hooking mechanisms 130 on the transporter 100 as a temporary parking space. After quickly hooking the vehicle (car carrier) on the front-row parking space 310 to the transporter 100, quickly laterally transfer it to the above temporary parking space through the lateral transfer and exchange mechanism 140 to achieve rapid turnover, and then the hooking mechanism 130 performs the rapid retrieval operation of the target vehicle (car carrier) again.

[0118] Similar to the above functional scenario, in order to retrieve the target vehicle (car carrier) on the rear heavy train parking space 320 without setting a fixed turnover parking space, one of the bearing positions 101 can be used as a temporary parking space, and a hooking mechanism 130 corresponding to this bearing position 101 is used to retrieve the vehicle (car carrier) on the front row parking space 310. Then, the transporter 100 moves a distance equal to the width of one parking space in the first direction X, so that another set of hooking mechanisms 130 is aligned with the center of the target parking space, and then the retrieval of the target vehicle (car carrier) on the rear heavy train parking space 320 is achieved (the turnover method that requires moving the transporter 100 in this scenario is hereinafter referred to as "mobile turnover").

[0119] Due to the realization of the above functional scenario, the turnover parking spaces that must be set in the existing heavy train garage can be converted into ordinary available parking spaces, realizing an increase in the total number of parking spaces in the mechanical garage.

[0120] In summary, when the transporter proposed by the present invention is applied to a garage, it enables the purpose of simultaneously storing and retrieving multiple cars without increasing the building occupancy space of the garage itself. In particular, for a garage with the parking spaces arranged in a heavy train layout, it can quickly turnover the vehicles stored in the heavy train parking spaces to reduce the time for accessing the vehicles in the heavy train parking spaces, and can convert the turnover parking spaces that must be set in the existing heavy train garage into normal use parking spaces to increase the total number of parking spaces in the storage area.

[0121] The above has described and / or illustrated in detail the exemplary embodiments of the transporter and the heavy train garage proposed by the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the specific embodiments described here. On the contrary, each component and / or step of each embodiment can be used independently and separately from other components and / or steps described here. Each component and / or each step of one embodiment can also be combined with other components and / or steps of other embodiments.
