[0030] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural view of an embodiment of the comb-type stereo garage of the present application. Figure 2 is Figure 1 a schematic structural view of the transporter in Figure 3 is Figure 1 a schematic structural view of the parking rack and the charging pile in. In one embodiment, the comb-type stereo garage of the present application includes a transporter 100, at least one parking rack 200, and a charging pile 300. The transporter 100 further includes a transport cart 110 and a charging stand 120 movably connected to the transport cart 110. Among them, the charging pile 300 is arranged at the parking rack 200, and the transport cart 110 moves along the parking rack 200 and drives the charging stand 120 to be connected or disconnected from the charging pile 300.

[0032] Specifically, please combine Figures 1 - 3 and refer to Figure 4 and - Figure 6 , Figure 4 is Figure 2 an enlarged schematic view of one embodiment of the partial structure within the dashed-line frame in Figure 5 is Figure 4 a schematic structural view of the structure shown from another perspective, Figure 6 is Figure 2An enlarged schematic view of another embodiment of the partial structure within the dashed box in the middle. The parking rack 200 includes a comb tooth rack 210. The handling cart 110 includes a vehicle-carrying platform 111, comb teeth 112, and a lifting member (not shown in the figure). The comb teeth 112 are arranged on the vehicle-carrying platform 111. The lifting member is connected to the vehicle-carrying platform 111 and controls the descent or ascent of the vehicle-carrying platform 111. For example, the bottom of the handling cart 110 is a chassis (not labeled) with a traveling mechanism. The vehicle-carrying platform 111 is located above the chassis, and the lifting member is located between the chassis and the vehicle-carrying platform 111, and can control the descent or ascent of the vehicle-carrying platform 111 relative to the chassis. It can be understood that the lifting member can be a telescopic air cylinder, a crank connecting rod mechanism, a cam connecting rod mechanism, etc. Among them, a track (not labeled) is provided on the parking rack 200, and the handling cart 110 can enter or exit the parking rack 200 along the track.

[0033] Specifically, in one embodiment, the handling cart 110 further includes a support assembly 113, a sliding assembly 114, and a driving assembly 115. The support assembly 113 is fixedly connected to the vehicle-carrying platform 111. The sliding assembly 114 includes a sliding track 1141 and a sliding arm 1142 slidably connected to the sliding track. Among them, one end of the sliding track 1141 is fixedly connected to the support assembly 113, and the sliding arm 1142 is movably connected to the charging base 120. The driving assembly 115 is used to drive the sliding arm 1142 to move along the sliding track 1141, approaching or departing from the support assembly 113, so that the charging base 120 can be aligned with the charging pile 300. Among them, the charging base 120 and the charging pile 300 are pluggable and electrically connected.

[0034] When an electric vehicle waiting for charging needs to be charged or parked in a comb-type three-dimensional garage, the electric vehicle waiting for charging moves to the car carrier 111. It can be understood that when charging is required, the electric vehicle needs to be electrically connected to the charging seat 120. Then, the handling cart 110 enters the parking rack 200 along the track. During this process, the plane where the comb teeth 112 are located is higher than the plane where the comb rack 210 is located. The driving assembly 115 on the handling cart 110 can drive the sliding arm 1142 to move, so that the charging seat 120 movably connected to the sliding arm 1142 moves in the direction close to the charging pile 300. When the handling cart 110 moves to the position where the comb teeth 112 on it are staggered with the comb rack 210 on the parking rack 200, the charging seat 120 and the charging pile 300 are also aligned vertically (i.e., the Y direction in the figure). At this time, the lifting member controls the car carrier 111 to descend. Since the comb teeth 112 are staggered with the comb rack 210, that is, the teeth of the comb teeth 112 are facing the tooth spaces of the comb rack 210, under the control of the lifting member, the comb teeth 112 descend from the tooth spaces of the comb rack 210 along with the car carrier 111. On the one hand, the charging seat 120 descends with the car carrier 111 to be electrically connected to the charging pile 300, and as the car carrier 111 continues to descend, the charging seat 120 is disconnected from the sliding arm 1142 and plugged into the charging pile 300 to charge the electric vehicle waiting for charging; on the other hand, as the car carrier 111 descends, the electric vehicle waiting for charging is separated from the support of the car carrier 111. And as the car carrier 111 descends until the plane where the comb teeth 112 are located is lower than the plane where the comb rack 210 is located, the electric vehicle is transferred from the car carrier 111 to the parking rack 200, and the handling cart 110 can then exit the parking rack 200 along the original path of entry to facilitate handling other electric vehicles waiting for charging.

[0035] Conversely, when the electric vehicle waiting for charging is fully charged or needs to leave the comb-type three-dimensional garage, the handling cart 110 enters the parking rack 200 along the track. During this process, the plane where the comb teeth 112 are located is lower than the plane where the comb rack 210 is located. When it moves to the position where the comb rack 210 on the parking rack 200 is staggered with the comb teeth 112 on the handling cart 110, the driving assembly 115 on the handling cart 110 can drive the sliding arm 1142 to move, so that the sliding arm 1142 moves in the direction close to the charging pile 300 and is vertically aligned with the charging seat 120 remaining on the charging pile 300. At this time, the lifting member controls the car carrier 111 to rise. On the one hand, the sliding arm 1142 rises to be movably connected to the charging seat 120, and the charging seat 120 rises with the continuously rising sliding arm 1142 and is separated from the charging pile 300. On the other hand, the plane where the comb teeth 112 are located is higher than the plane where the comb rack 210 is located, and the electric vehicle is transferred from the parking rack 200 to the car carrier 111. The handling cart 110 can then exit the parking rack 200 along the original path of entry with the charging seat 120 and the electric vehicle and carry the electric vehicle to the exit of the comb-type three-dimensional garage.

[0036] It can be seen that this embodiment can expand the functions of the comb-type three-dimensional garage, and at the same time provide parking services and charging services for electric vehicles. Moreover, it can automatically align the charging seat and the charging pile by using the sliding component, improving the parking and charging efficiency.

[0037] Based on the same inventive concept, in another aspect of the present application, a transporter is further provided. Please continue to refer to Figures 1 - 6 , the transporter 100 is as described above, including a transport trolley 110 and a charging seat 120 movably connected to the transport trolley 110; the transport trolley 110 further includes a support component 113, a sliding component 114 and a driving component 115; the sliding component 114 includes a sliding track 1141 and a sliding arm 1142 slidably connected to the sliding track. The specific structure of the transporter 100 is the same as that described above, and reference can be made to the above description, which will not be elaborated here.

[0038] Specifically, in one embodiment, in combination with Figures 1 - 6 refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 for Figure 4 the exploded view of the charging seat in Figure 8 and Figure 4 the disassembled view of the charging seat in

[0039] the charging seat 120 of the transporter 100 includes a first positioning post 1201. One end of the sliding arm 1142 away from the support component 113 is provided with a first positioning hole A, and the first positioning post 1201 on the charging seat 120 is inserted into the first positioning hole A, so that the sliding arm 1142 is movably connected to the charging seat 120, facilitating the separation and installation of the sliding arm 1142 and the charging seat 120.

[0039] Among them, in one embodiment, the driving component 115 can be a linear motor. Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the linear motor is connected to the sliding arm 1142 and can drive the sliding arm 1142 to move along the sliding track 1141. In other embodiments, the driving component 115 can also include a rotating motor and a lead screw connected to the rotating motor, and the lead screw is also fixedly connected to the sliding arm 1142, and can also drive the sliding arm 1142 to move along the sliding track 1141. Specifically, the lead screw includes a screw rod and a sleeve threadedly sleeved on the screw rod. The screw rod is connected to the rotating motor and is driven by the rotating motor to rotate. The sleeve is connected to the sliding arm 1142, and under the drive of the screw rod, the sleeve moves along the extension direction of the screw rod, thereby driving the sliding arm 1142 to move along the sliding track 1141. It can be understood that the output shaft of the rotating motor can also be set as the screw rod, and a threaded hole threadedly sleeved with the screw rod is provided on the sliding arm 1142. The specific linear motor or rotating motor is well known in the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0040] Specifically, in one embodiment, the support assembly 113 includes a support base 1131 and a support arm 1132. One end of the support arm 1132 is fixedly connected to the support base 1131. A connection hole (not shown in the figure) is also provided on the support base 1131 for fixedly connecting to the carrier platform 111 through a connecting member (not shown in the figure). Wherein, one end of the sliding track 1141 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the support arm 1132, and the extending direction of the sliding track 1141 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the support arm 1132. The center line of the first positioning hole A is perpendicular to the plane where the carrier platform 111 is located. The first positioning post 1201 on the charging base 120 also extends in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the carrier platform 111 is located (i.e., the Y direction in the figure), that is, the first positioning post 1201 can be inserted into the first positioning hole A movably along the Y direction, so that the charging base 120 can be movably connected to the sliding arm 1142 along the Y direction.

[0041] It can be understood that in this embodiment, the extending direction of the support arm 1132 is parallel to the moving direction of the handling cart 110, and the extending directions of the sliding track 1141 and the sliding arm 1142 are perpendicular to the extending direction of the support arm 1132. In other embodiments, it can be set according to the actual application scenario, and the present application does not limit this.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, please continue to refer to Figures 1 - 8 , the sliding track 1141 includes at least two spaced apart ones, and the sliding arm 1142 also includes at least two, and are respectively installed on the corresponding sliding track 1141, that is, one sliding arm 1142 is installed on each sliding track 1141. Figures 4 - 6 The situation of two sliding tracks 1141 and two sliding arms 1142 is schematically drawn in [reference], and other quantities can also be set in other embodiments, such as three, four, etc. The present application does not limit this. It can be understood that the driving assembly 115 is also at least two, that is to say, the number of the driving assemblies 115 is equal to the number of the sliding arms 1142, and each sliding arm 1142 is driven by a corresponding driving assembly 115. When the driving assembly 115 is a linear motor, each linear motor is respectively connected to the corresponding sliding arm 1142 for driving the corresponding sliding arm 1142 to move along the corresponding sliding track 1141. When the driving assembly 115 includes a rotating motor and a lead screw connected to the rotating motor, the lead screw is also fixedly connected to the corresponding sliding arm 1142 for driving the corresponding sliding arm 1142 to move along the corresponding sliding track 1141. It should be noted that in this case, the driving of all the driving assemblies 115 needs to be consistent, so as to ensure that the motion parameters of all the sliding arms 1142 are the same.

[0043] In order to reduce the components of the mechanism and facilitate the synchronization of the movement speeds and directions of the at least two sliding arms 1142, specifically, in another specific embodiment, the sliding assembly 114 further includes a connecting bridge 1143 that connects all the sliding arms 1142. The driving assembly 115 is connected to the connecting bridge 1143 and drives the connecting bridge 1143 to drive all the sliding arms 1142 to move synchronously along the extending direction of the sliding track 1141. That is, the driving assembly 115 drives the multiple sliding arms 1142 to move synchronously by driving the movement of the connecting bridge 1143. When the driving assembly 115 includes a linear motor, the linear motor is fixedly connected to the connecting bridge 1143 and is used to drive the connecting bridge 1143 to drive all the sliding arms 1142 to move along the corresponding sliding track 1141. When the driving assembly 115 includes a rotating motor and a lead screw connected to the rotating motor, the lead screw is also fixedly connected to the connecting bridge 1143 and is used to drive the connecting bridge 1143 to drive all the sliding arms 1142 to move along the corresponding sliding track 1141.

[0044] Among them, in order to illustrate the driving process in detail, taking the driving assembly 115 including a rotating motor 1151 and a lead screw connected to the rotating motor 1151 as an example for detailed description. Specifically, the lead screw is also fixedly connected to the connecting bridge 1143. The lead screw includes a screw rod 1152 and a sleeve 1153 that is threadedly sleeved on the screw rod 1152. The screw rod 1152 is connected to the rotating motor 1151 and is driven by the rotating motor 1151 to rotate. The sleeve 1153 is connected to the connecting bridge 1143. Driven by the screw rod 1152, the sleeve 1153 moves along the extending direction of the screw rod 1152, thereby driving the connecting bridge 1143 to move, and further driving the multiple sliding arms 1142 to move synchronously. For specific reference, Figure 6 , for clear illustration, Figure 6 the charging base 120 is not drawn in

[0045] Preferably, in some embodiments including two sliding arms 1142, the connecting bridge 1143 is in a T shape, and the opposite two end portions are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the adjacent sliding arms 1142 close to the support arm 1132. The other end portion of the T-shaped connecting bridge 1143 is fixedly connected to one end of the sleeve 1153 far from the support arm 1132. Among them, neither the connecting bridge 1143 nor the sleeve 1153 extends beyond one end of the sliding arm 1142 far from the support arm 1132, so as not to affect the connection between the charging base 120 and the charging pile 300.

[0046] In other embodiments, the lead screw may only include the above-mentioned screw rod 1152 and does not include the sleeve 1153. Instead, a threaded hole is provided on the connecting bridge 1143, and the screw rod 1152 passes through the threaded hole, which can also drive the connecting bridge 1143 to move. Of course, the driving assembly 115 can also be a linear motor, which directly drives the connecting bridge 1143 to move linearly.

[0047] Further, in some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 - 8 Figure Figure 9 , Figure 9 which is an assembly schematic diagram of the charging stand and the charging pile. The charging stand 120 further includes a second positioning post 1202 and a plug 1203. The charging pile 300 includes a second positioning hole B and a jack C. The second positioning post 1202 and the plug 1203 move with the sliding arm 1142 so that the second positioning post 1202 is aligned and connected with the second positioning hole B, and the plug 1203 is aligned and connected with the jack C. That is to say, the plug 1203 can be inserted into or pulled out of the jack C to realize the pluggable electrical connection between the charging stand 120 and the charging pile 300. In a specific embodiment, the driving assembly 115 drives the sliding arm 1142 to move away from the support assembly 113, and the second positioning post 1202 and the plug 1203 move with the sliding arm 1142 to be respectively inserted and fixed with the second positioning hole B and the jack C, so as to realize the pluggable electrical connection between the charging stand 120 and the charging pile 300. On the contrary, when it is necessary to disconnect the charging stand 120 from the charging pile 300, the driving assembly 115 drives the sliding arm 1142 to be buckled with the first positioning hole A and the first positioning post 1201. After the charging stand 120 moves along the Y direction to be disconnected from the charging pile 300, the driving assembly 115 continues to drive the sliding arm 1142 to move the charging stand 120 away from the charging pile 130.

[0048] In some other specific embodiments, the driving assembly 115 drives the sliding arm 1142 to move away from the support assembly 113. When the second positioning post 1202 and the plug 1203 move with the sliding arm 1142 to be vertically aligned along the Y direction with the second positioning hole B and the jack C respectively, the driving assembly 115 continues to drive the sliding arm 1142 to move towards the support assembly 113. At this time, the sliding arm 1142 is away from the charging stand 120, and the first positioning hole A and the first positioning post 1201 are disengaged. The charging stand 120 moves towards the charging pile 300 under the action of gravity, so that the second positioning post 1202 and the plug 1203 are respectively inserted and fixed with the second positioning hole B and the jack C. On the contrary, when it is necessary to disconnect the charging stand 120 from the charging pile 300, the driving assembly 115 drives the sliding arm 1142 to move below the charging stand 120, and then continues to drive the sliding arm 1142 to move in the Y direction towards the charging stand 120, and makes the first positioning hole A and the first positioning post 1201 be buckled. Then, the sliding arm 1142 is driven to continue to move along the Y direction, so as to move the charging stand 120 away from the charging pile 130, and the second positioning post 1202 and the plug 1203 are respectively disengaged from the insertion with the second positioning hole B and the jack C.

[0049] Preferably, in some embodiments, the length of one end of the second positioning post 1202 facing the charging pile 300 is greater than the length of one end of the plug 1203 facing the charging pile 300. That is, during the process of the charging base 120 approaching the charging pile 300, the second positioning post 1202 is inserted into the second positioning hole B first to accurately position the charging base 120, and then the plug 1203 is inserted into the jack C, which can further ensure the electrical connection between the charging base 120 and the charging pile 300 and improve the success rate of charging.

[0050] Specifically, in some embodiments, the charging base 120 further includes a first cover plate 1204, a middle support plate 1205, a second cover plate 1206, and a charging gun 1207 (only the charging gun 1207 is drawn in Figure 8 for clear illustration). The middle support plate 1205 is located between the first cover plate 1204 and the second cover plate 1206. The plug 1203 and the second positioning post 1202 are respectively fixedly arranged on the middle support plate 1205, and the first positioning post 1201 is fixedly arranged on the surface of the second cover plate 1206 facing away from the middle support plate 1205. Both the plug 1203 and the second positioning post 1202 penetrate through the second cover plate 1206 and are exposed outside the second cover plate 1206, and the plug 1203 also penetrates through the first cover plate 1204 and is exposed outside the first cover plate 1204. One end of the charging gun 1207 is electrically connected to the end of the plug 1203 exposed outside the first cover plate 1204, and the other end of the charging gun 1207 is used to electrically connect to the device to be charged. It can be understood that the charging gun 1207 includes a cable with an appropriate length so that the charging gun 1207 can be connected to an electric vehicle.

[0051] In some embodiments, the ends of the second positioning post 1202 and the first positioning post 1201 protruding from the second cover plate 1206 are conical, which is convenient for inserting into the corresponding second positioning hole B and first positioning hole A.

[0052] In some embodiments, to avoid interference, both the first cover plate 1204 and the second cover plate 1206 are provided with central avoidance holes (not marked), and both the plug 1203 and the second positioning post 1202 pass through the corresponding central avoidance holes. Preferably, the number of the second positioning posts 1202 is two, which are respectively located on both sides of the plug 1203, and the number of the first positioning posts 1201 is two, which are respectively located on both sides of the second positioning posts 1202.

[0053] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the charging base 120 further includes a fixed shaft 1208 and a ball bearing 1209. An installation through hole D is provided on the middle support plate 1205; the center of the ball bearing 1209 is aligned with the center of the installation through hole D. The ball bearing 1209 is located on the surfaces of the middle support plate 1205 facing the first cover plate 1204 and the second cover plate 1206. The fixed shaft 1208 passes through the installation through hole D and the ball bearing 1209, and both ends of the fixed shaft 1208 are respectively fixedly connected to the first cover plate 1204 and the second cover plate 1206.

[0054] Specifically, a protrusion (not labeled) is provided on the middle support plate 1205 around the mounting through hole D. The ball bearing 1209 is sleeved on the protrusion. The distances between the middle support plate 1205 and the first cover plate 1204 and the second cover plate 1206 are both the thickness of the ball bearing 1209. That is, the middle support plate 1205 can twist relative to the first cover plate 1204 and the second cover plate 1206 within a small range by relying on the ball bearing 1209, so as to play a buffering role when the charging base 120 contacts the charging pile 300, and further ensure the smooth electrical connection between the charging base 120 and the charging pile 300.

[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the charging base 120 further includes a fixing post 1210 and a connecting member 1211. A fixing hole (not labeled) is provided in the fixing post 1210, which is located between the first cover plate 1204 and the second cover plate 1206. The connecting member 1211 passes through the fixing hole, and both ends of the connecting member 1211 are fixedly connected to the first cover plate 1204 and the second cover plate 1206 respectively. Among them, the position of the middle support plate 1205 corresponding to the fixing post 1210 is cut. Such a setting can improve the structural stability of the charging base 120.
