Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of parking systems, and more particularly to single-sided track devices for automated parking garages. Background Technology
[0002] Among existing technologies, there is a patent with patent number 201711003751.9 for adding shelves to support vehicles waiting to be parked in a multi-level parking garage. The patent is titled "Multi-level Parking Garage".
[0003] The aforementioned patent discloses that "the guiding device includes two guide rails, which are symmetrically arranged and both are mounted on a frame via guide rail mounting brackets. Each guide rail includes an upper arc-shaped segment, a straight segment, and a lower arc-shaped segment connected sequentially from top to bottom. The straight segment of each guide rail extends vertically. Each guide rail is also provided with an upper inclined segment and a lower inclined segment, the bottom of the upper inclined segment connecting to the top of the straight segment, and the top of the lower inclined segment connecting to the bottom of the straight segment. Each guide rail is provided with a guide groove that rolls with the guide wheel, and the guide groove extends to every part of the guide rail."
[0004] The shortcomings of the above technology are: the guide rail is spliced together from a straight section, an upper arc section and a lower arc section, and there is a considerable distance between the upper and lower inclined sections; this makes it easy for the frame to derail when it is cyclically lifting and lowering in the guide rail, resulting in safety risks; in addition, the guide device on one side of the frame runs in the guide rail, causing instability in the center. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a single-sided track device and method for a three-dimensional parking garage.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A single-sided track device for a multi-level parking garage includes a main track and a transmission track installed within the main track. The main track includes two pairs of straight tracks that are perpendicular to and parallel to the ground, respectively connecting the top arc-shaped tracks at the top of the two pairs of straight tracks and the bottom arc-shaped tracks at the bottom of the two pairs of straight tracks. The main track has a groove-shaped cross-section, with the width at the groove opening being smaller than the width at the bottom of the groove. A first running space is provided inside the main track near the bottom of the groove, and a second running space is provided inside the main track near the groove opening. The first running surface is parallel to the bottom of the main track, and the second running surface is perpendicular to the first running surface.
[0008] The aforementioned transmission track includes an outer chain track mounted on a base plate inside the main track and an inner chain track mounted inside the main track; the transmission mechanism operates within the transmission track.
[0009] The aforementioned transmission mechanism consists of multiple chain components, which are connected end to end to form a closed loop.
[0010] The chain component includes an inner chain plate and an outer chain plate with through holes at corresponding positions at both ends, which are placed in parallel. A pin shaft is connected to the through hole, and a pin sleeve and a roller are sequentially sleeved on the pin shaft. The roller moves in the transmission track.
[0011] The bottom of the aforementioned arc-shaped track opening is provided with a detachable block.
[0012] The bottom of the inner side of the aforementioned bottom arc track has a slot.
[0013] Furthermore, it also includes auxiliary tracks, the cross-section of which is grooved. The auxiliary tracks are used to accommodate multiple pins of the vehicle-carrying device. The auxiliary tracks include a first auxiliary track and a second auxiliary track. The pins on the same side are placed in the groove of the first auxiliary track or the groove of the second auxiliary track, and the pins on the other side are placed in the groove of the second auxiliary track or the groove of the first auxiliary track. The first auxiliary track consists of two vertical and parallel first auxiliary straight tracks, a first top arc track and a second top arc track connecting the tops of the two first auxiliary straight tracks from top to bottom, and a first bottom arc track and a second bottom arc track connecting the bottoms of the two first auxiliary straight tracks from top to bottom. The second auxiliary track consists of two vertical and parallel second auxiliary straight tracks, a third top arc track and a fourth top arc track connecting the tops of the two second auxiliary straight tracks from top to bottom, and a third bottom arc track and a fourth bottom arc track connecting the bottoms of the two second auxiliary straight tracks from top to bottom.
[0014] The first and third top arc tracks are respectively used for the operation of the two pin shafts at the top of the vehicle carrier, while the second and fourth top arc tracks are used for the operation of the two pin shafts at the bottom of the vehicle carrier.
[0015] The first and third bottom arc tracks are respectively used for the two pins on the upper part of the vehicle carrier, while the second and fourth bottom arc tracks are used for the two pins on the lower part of the vehicle carrier.
[0016] The main track, the first auxiliary track, and the second auxiliary track are arranged on the same plane.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The three-dimensional parking frame track of the present invention adopts a main track and two auxiliary tracks distributed on both sides of the main track. The main track provides a cyclic lifting and lowering motion for the steering device. The auxiliary tracks support the backrest of the vehicle-carrying device and also provide a running path for the grooves that are synchronized with the pins and pin sleeves of the vehicle-carrying device to maintain the balance and level of the vehicle-carrying device at any position and play an auxiliary stabilizing role for the vehicle-carrying platform.

The guiding mechanism 62 includes a guiding component and at least two sets of guide wheels 621 installed in the guiding component. The running wheels 612 are arranged perpendicularly to the guide wheels 621. The locking mechanism locks the running mechanism 61 and the guiding mechanism 62.
[0064] Specifically, the guide component includes a first mounting plate 622 placed on one side of the guide wheel 621 and a second mounting plate 623 placed on the other side of the guide wheel 622; the guide component also includes a partition 624 located between the first mounting plate 622 and the second mounting plate 623 and between adjacent guide wheels 621. The first mounting plate 622 has a first mounting hole 6221, and the second mounting plate 623 has a second mounting hole 6231. The guide component also includes a spacer 625 located between the first mounting plate 622 and the second mounting plate 623 and fitted onto the central shaft 5. A flange 51 is fixedly mounted on one end of the central shaft 5. The flange 51 passes through the second mounting plate 623, the spacer 625, and the first mounting plate 622 in sequence by locking screws 626, thereby fixing the central shaft 5 to the guide mechanism 62; the other end of the central shaft 5 is connected to the vehicle carrier 7.
[0065] Specifically, the locking mechanism is a locking screw 626. A boss 613 is provided at the center of the side of the running frame 611 away from the guide mechanism 62, and the boss 613 is nested and connected to the transmission mechanism.

[0068] Specifically, corner brackets 7221 are installed on the side of the side vertical beams 722 of the back panel frame 72, and corner brackets 7221 are fixedly connected to one end of the diagonal tie rod 714 by adjusting screws. A warning bar 715 perpendicular to the vehicle platform 71 is provided near the edge of the vehicle platform 71. A pulley 712 is installed on the bottom surface of the end of the vehicle platform 71 away from the back panel frame 72; the function of the pulley 12 is to prevent the vehicle platform 71 from rubbing against the ground when the vehicle device 7 runs to the lowest point in the main track 1; and to support the vehicle platform 71 when the weight is concentrated at one end of the vehicle platform 71 when the car enters or exits the vehicle platform 71, thereby protecting the vehicle platform 71. The vehicle platform 71 has a ramp 711 at the end away from the back panel frame 72. The ramp 711 is designed to allow the vehicle platform 71 to smoothly transition to the ground. The vehicle platform 71 has crisscrossing reinforcing ribs 713 inside, which increase the load-bearing capacity of the vehicle platform 71. A mirror panel 725 is installed inside the back panel frame 72. The mirror panel 725 allows the driver to see whether the car is parked correctly. Pin holes 724 are opened at the four corners of the side of the back panel frame 72 away from the vehicle platform 71. The sliding plate 7211 is fixed to the upper part of the back panel frame 72 by inserting the pin 7212 into the pin hole 724 and fitting a pin sleeve 7213 onto the pin 7212; the sliding plate 7231 is fixed to the lower part of the back panel frame 72 by inserting the pin 7232 into the pin hole 724 and fitting a pin sleeve 7233 onto the pin 7232.
[0069] A central shaft 5 passes sequentially through the center of the first columnar bearing 734, the through hole 7311, and the center of the second columnar bearing 735; the spherical bearing 73 is connected to the steering device 6 via the central shaft 5. The central shaft 5 is connected to the steering device 6, which runs within the main track 1.
[0070] The central shaft 5 passes through the center of the first columnar bearing 734, the through hole 7311, and the center of the second columnar bearing 735 in sequence, and is then locked by the locking nut 736.
[0071] like Figures 17 to 20 The diagram shows a drive unit 9 that drives the steering device 6 to circulate and move up and down within the main track 1. The drive unit 9 includes a geared motor 91, a drive wheel 92 mounted on the output shaft of the geared motor 91, a driven wheel 94 driven by the drive wheel 92, a drive chain 93 that meshes with the drive wheel 92 and the driven wheel 94 respectively, an axle 95 axially connected to the driven wheel 94, and a drive wheel 96 coaxially arranged with the driven wheel 94. The drive wheel 96 is embedded in the transmission chain component 33 through the slot 14 at the bottom inner side of the main track 1, thereby driving the chain component 3 to circulate within the transmission track 2, and thus driving the steering device 7 to circulate and move up and down within the main track 1.
