Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated parking systems, and more particularly to a single-sided suspended vehicle carrier device. 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 frame includes a frame, a base plate, and guide structures. The frame is welded from multiple square tubes, and the tops of both ends of the frame are hinged to the support arms on two second chains, respectively. The base plate is located at the bottom of the frame. The base plate is provided with a positioning structure so that the vehicle can reach a preset position on the base plate. There are four guide structures, each located at one end of the frame, and the four guide structures are arranged in a roughly rectangular array.

[0004] The shortcomings of the above-mentioned patented technology are that the top of both ends of the frame need to be hinged to the support arms on the two second chains; resulting in a large area occupied by the overall three-dimensional parking garage, and the vehicle must pass the outer end of the frame before it can turn when retrieving the car. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a single-sided suspended vehicle carrier device. This single-sided suspended vehicle carrier device is connected to the steering device through a spherical bearing, thereby achieving single-sided force on the vehicle carrier plate, thus saving space occupied by the multi-level parking garage.

[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A single-sided suspended vehicle carrier includes a vehicle carrier plate, a back plate frame vertically fixed to one side of the short side of the vehicle carrier plate, and multiple diagonal tie rods connecting the two long sides of the vehicle carrier plate to the two vertical beams on both sides of the back plate frame. The center of the top crossbeam of the back plate frame is provided with a sleeve hole for installing a circular sleeve. A spherical bearing is installed inside the sleeve. The spherical bearing includes a spherical body with a through hole in the middle, a first columnar bearing and a second columnar bearing installed on both sides of the through hole, and a first outer shell and a second outer shell that enclose the spherical body.

[0008] The first outer shell and the second outer shell are fixed together by locking screws; a groove is opened on the outer side of the first outer shell and the second outer shell; and a retaining ring is placed in the groove.

[0009] Angle brackets are installed on the side of the vertical beams of the aforementioned back panel frame, and the angle brackets are fixedly connected to one end of the diagonal tie rod by adjusting screws.

[0010] A warning bar perpendicular to the vehicle platform is provided near the edge of the aforementioned vehicle platform.

[0011] A pulley is installed on the bottom surface of the vehicle platform at the end away from the back panel frame.

[0012] The vehicle carrier plate has a sloping surface at the end away from the back panel frame; the vehicle carrier plate is provided with crisscrossing reinforcing ribs.

[0013] A mirror panel is installed inside the aforementioned back panel frame.

[0014] The backplate frame has four corner holes on the side away from the vehicle platform. The slide is fixed to the upper part of the backplate frame by inserting the pin into the pin hole and putting the pin sleeve on the pin. The slide is fixed to the lower part of the backplate frame by inserting the pin into the pin hole and putting the pin sleeve on the pin.

[0015] Furthermore, a central axis passes sequentially through the center of the first columnar bearing, the through hole, and the center of the second columnar bearing; the spherical bearing is connected to the steering device via the central axis.

[0016] The aforementioned central shaft passes sequentially through the center of the first columnar bearing, the through hole, and the center of the second columnar bearing before being locked by a lock nut.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the vehicle platform of the single-sided suspended vehicle carrier device of the present invention is subjected to force on one side, thereby saving the space occupied by the three-dimensional parking garage; in addition, since the vehicle platform is arranged on one side, a relatively open parking and retrieval system is formed, which makes it easier for vehicles to drive in or out compared with the prior art.

[0055] To better illustrate the present invention, further explanation will now be provided in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0056] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the single-sided suspended vehicle carrier includes a vehicle carrier plate 1, a back plate frame 2 that is vertically fixed to one side of the short side of the vehicle carrier plate 1, and multiple diagonal tie rods 14 that connect the two long sides of the vehicle carrier plate 1 to the sides of the vertical beams 22 on both sides of the back plate frame 2. The center of the top crossbeam 21 of the back plate frame 2 is provided with a sleeve hole 214 for installing a circular sleeve 4. A spherical bearing 3 is installed inside the sleeve 4. The spherical bearing 3 includes a spherical body 31 with a through hole 311 in the middle, a first columnar bearing 34 and a second columnar bearing 35 installed on both sides of the through hole 311, and a first outer shell 32 and a second outer shell 33 that enclose the spherical body 31.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first housing 32 and the second housing 33 are fixed together by locking screws 38. A groove 37 is formed on the outer side of both the first housing 32 and the second housing 33. The single-sided suspended vehicle carrier also includes a retaining ring 6 placed within the groove 37. The retaining ring 6 is used to lock the sleeve 4, thereby preventing the sleeve 4 from falling off the spherical bearing 3. The spherical body 31 of the spherical bearing 3 can rotate 360 ​​degrees, providing a small adjustment function during operation.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, corner brackets 221 are installed on the side of the side vertical beams 22 of the back panel frame 2. The corner brackets 221 are fixedly connected to one end of the diagonal tie rod 14 by adjusting screws. A warning bar 15 perpendicular to the vehicle platform 1 is provided near the edge of the vehicle platform 1. A pulley 12 is installed on the bottom surface of the end of the vehicle platform 1 away from the back panel frame 2. The function of the pulley 12 is to prevent the vehicle platform 1 from rubbing against the ground when the single-sided suspended vehicle platform device of the present invention runs to the lowest point in the main track 81; and to support the vehicle platform 1 when the weight is concentrated at one end of the vehicle platform 1 when the car enters or exits the vehicle platform 1, thereby protecting the vehicle platform 1. The end of the vehicle platform 1 away from the back frame 2 has a ramp 11. The ramp 11 is designed to allow the vehicle platform 1 to smoothly transition to the ground, eliminating the need to dig a pit in the ground to make the vehicle platform 1 level with the ground, thus further reducing costs. The vehicle platform 1 has crisscrossing reinforcing ribs 13 inside, which increase the load-bearing capacity of the vehicle platform 1. A mirror panel 4 is installed inside the back frame 2. The mirror panel 4 allows the driver to see whether the car is parked in the correct position when parking. The back frame 2 has four pin holes 24 at the four corners on the side away from the vehicle platform 1. The sliding plate 211 is fixed to the upper part of the back frame 2 by inserting the pin 212 into the pin hole 24 and fitting the pin sleeve 213 on the pin 212; the sliding plate 231 is fixed to the lower part of the back frame 2 by inserting the pin 232 into the pin hole 24 and fitting the pin sleeve 233 on the pin 232.

[0059] A central shaft 6 passes sequentially through the center of the first columnar bearing 34, the through hole 311, and the center of the second columnar bearing 35; the spherical bearing 3 is connected to the steering device 7 via the central shaft 6. The central shaft 6 is connected to the steering device 7 to run within the main track 81, and the pin sleeve 233 runs within the auxiliary track 88 to ensure the smooth operation of the vehicle platform 1.

[0060] The central shaft 6 passes sequentially through the center of the first columnar bearing 34, the through hole 311, and the center of the second columnar bearing 35 before being locked by the lock nut 36.

[0061] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the steering device 7 includes a running mechanism 71, a guiding mechanism 72, and a locking mechanism. The running mechanism 71 includes a running frame 711 and at least two sets of running wheels 712 installed on both sides of the running frame 711 and moving with the running frame 711. The guiding mechanism 72 includes a guiding component and at least two sets of guide wheels 721 installed in the guiding component. The running wheels 712 are arranged perpendicularly to the guide wheels 721. The locking mechanism locks the running mechanism 71 and the guiding mechanism 72.

[0062] Specifically, the guide component includes a first mounting plate 722 placed on one side of the guide wheel 721 and a second mounting plate 723 placed on the other side of the guide wheel 722; the guide component also includes a partition rib 724 located between the first mounting plate 722 and the second mounting plate 723 and between adjacent guide wheels 721. The first mounting plate 722 has a first mounting hole 7221, and the second mounting plate 723 has a second mounting hole 7231. The guide component also includes a spacer ring 725 located between the first mounting plate 722 and the second mounting plate 723 and fitted onto the central shaft 6. A flange 61 is fixedly mounted on one end of the central shaft 6. The flange 61 passes through the second mounting plate 723, the spacer ring 725, and the first mounting plate 722 in sequence via locking screws 726, thereby fixing the central shaft 6 to the guide mechanism 72; the other end of the central shaft 6 is connected to the single-sided suspended vehicle carrier device of the present invention.

[0063] Specifically, the locking mechanism is a locking screw 726. A boss 713 is provided at the center of the side of the running frame 711 away from the guide mechanism 72, and the boss 713 is nested and connected to the transmission mechanism.

[0064] like Figures 10 to 19As shown, the track device of the automated parking garage includes a main track 81 and a transmission track installed in the main track 81. The main track 81 includes two pairs of straight main tracks 811 that are perpendicular to and parallel to the ground, and a top arc-shaped main track 812 at the top of the two pairs of straight main tracks 811 and a bottom arc-shaped main track 813 at the bottom of the two pairs of straight main tracks 811 respectively. The cross-section of the main track 81 is groove-shaped, and the width at the groove opening is smaller than the width at the bottom of the groove. A first running space 816 is provided inside the main track 81 near the bottom of the groove, and a second running space 818 is provided inside the main track 81 near the groove opening. The first running surface 817 is parallel to the bottom of the main track 81, and the second running surface 819 is perpendicular to the first running surface 817. The operating mechanism 71 of the steering device 7 operates in a cyclic lifting motion within the first operating space 816, and the guiding mechanism 72 operates in a cyclic lifting motion within the second operating space 818. When the steering device 7 is running in the straight main track 811, the running wheel 712 runs close to the first operating surface 817, and the guide wheel 721 is unloaded. When the steering device 7 is running in the top arc-shaped main track 812 or the bottom arc-shaped main track 813, the guide wheel 21 runs close to the second operating surface 819, and the running wheel 712 runs close to the first operating surface 817.

[0065] Specifically, the transmission track includes a first chain track 821 installed inside the main track 81 and a second chain track 822 arranged parallel to the first chain track 821; the transmission mechanism runs within the transmission track. The transmission mechanism consists of multiple chain components 831, which are connected end-to-end to form a closed loop. Each chain component 83 includes an inner chain plate 831 and an outer chain plate 832 with corresponding third mounting holes 834 at their parallel ends, a pin 835 connected to the corresponding third mounting hole 834, and a pin sleeve 836 and a roller 833 sequentially fitted onto the pin 835; the roller 833 moves within the transmission track. Where the chain component 83 needs to connect with the steering device 7, the outer chain plate 832 is replaced by a chain plate connecting part 84. The chain plate connecting part 84 is a triangular plate with a rectangular hole 844 in the middle. The chain plate connecting part 84 has a mounting hole at the connection point with the adjacent outer chain plate 832. The chain plate connecting part 84 and the adjacent outer chain plate 832 are fixedly connected by a pin 835. The pin 835 passes through the inner chain plate 831 and the outer chain plate 832 in sequence. The end of the pin 835 is equipped with a washer 842 and a pin 843 to prevent the chain from falling off. The boss 713 is placed in the rectangular hole 844 of the chain plate connecting part 84 and fixed by a screw cover plate.

[0066] Furthermore, a detachable block 815 is provided at the bottom of the opening surface of the bottom arc-shaped main track 813, through which the steering device 7 is placed into the main track 81. A groove 814 is opened at the bottom of the inner track of the bottom arc-shaped main track 813.

[0067] Furthermore, it also includes an auxiliary track 88, which is used to accommodate multiple pins 212 and 232 of the single-sided suspended vehicle carrier of the present invention. The auxiliary track 88 includes a first auxiliary track 881 and a second auxiliary track 882. Pins 232 and 212 on the same side are placed in the groove of the first auxiliary track 881 or the groove of the second auxiliary track 882, while pins 232 and 212 on the other side are placed in the groove of the second auxiliary track 882 or the groove of the first auxiliary track 881. The flange 61 end of the central shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the steering device 7, which runs in the groove of the main track 81. The other end of the central shaft 6 is connected to the single-sided suspended vehicle carrier of the present invention. The vehicle carrier 1 runs in the groove of the main track 81 through the steering device 7, thereby ensuring that the vehicle carrier 1 can run smoothly and horizontally.

[0068] like Figure 20 The diagram shows a drive unit 9 that drives the steering device 7 to move up and down cyclically within the main track 81. 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 drives the roller 836 to roll, thereby driving the steering device 7 to move up and down cyclically within the main track.

[0069] like Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the automated parking garage includes multiple single-sided suspended vehicle carriers of the present invention, a steering device 7 connected to the single-sided suspended vehicle carriers via a central shaft 6, and a main track 81 for placing the steering device 7; the auxiliary track 88 supports the suspension backrest of the single-sided suspended vehicle carriers and also provides a groove running path synchronized with the pin sleeves 213 and 233 of the single-sided suspended vehicle carriers to maintain the balance and levelness of the single-sided suspended vehicle carriers at any position; the side frame 101 is arranged on the single-sided suspended vehicle carriers. On both sides of the vehicle assembly, flange mounting plates are provided at the bottom of the side frame 101 for connection with the infrastructure; several track beams 102 are provided on the side of the main track 81 and auxiliary track 88 away from the multiple suspended vehicle carriers, and the two ends of the track beams 102 are used to fix them to the side frame 101 to form longitudinal support; the top frame 103 connects the two side frames 101 and the top track beams 102 to form a three-way lateral connection. Furthermore, a sunshade and rain canopy 104 is provided on the top of the top frame 103 to provide some sunshade and rain protection.
