Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated parking system technology, specifically to a vehicle platform structure and an automated parking system. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in urbanization and the rapid development of cities, and with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, cars are used more and more in people's lives as a means of transportation. Due to the constraints of urban development planning, parking has become a major problem for people. The emergence of multi-story parking garages has effectively solved the parking problem. They can be set up with two, three or more floors to accommodate more vehicles.

[0003] Therefore, given the height difference between the garage floor and the ground, how to smoothly enter and exit the garage has become a technical problem that needs to be solved in current automated parking system technology. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the first objective of the present invention is to provide a vehicle platform structure that enables vehicles to enter and exit the garage smoothly when there is a height difference between the garage platform and the ground.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned primary objective, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0006] A vehicle carrier structure includes a front disc, a movable disc, and a connecting assembly. The movable disc is connected to the front end of the front disc via the connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes an elastic connecting component and a hinge connecting component. The elastic connecting component passes sequentially through the rear end face of the movable disc and the front end face of the front disc. The lower part of the movable disc and the lower part of the front disc are connected via the hinge connecting component, which allows the movable disc to rotate around it. The movable disc and the front disc are connected by the elastic connecting component and the hinge connecting component. Due to the elastic force of the elastic connecting component, when no vehicle passes over the movable disc (i.e., when it is not under pressure), the movable disc is in contact with the front disc and does not contact the ground; this is the first state of the vehicle carrier. When a vehicle tire drives onto the movable disc, the movable disc is compressed and rotates around the hinge connecting component until its front end contacts the ground; this is the second state of the vehicle carrier. After the tire passes over, the movable disc returns to its position in the first state (i.e., it is in contact with the front disc) under the action of the elastic connecting component.

[0007] In the above technical solution, more preferably, the elastic connecting assembly includes a connecting rod and a compression spring. The connecting rod passes sequentially through the rear end face of the movable disc and the front end face of the front disc. The compression spring is sleeved on the connecting rod and is located behind the front end face of the front disc. During installation, the compression spring is pre-compressed to a certain extent, causing the movable disc to contact the opposing surfaces of the front disc while the movable disc does not contact the ground; this is the first state of the vehicle platform structure. When a tire drives onto the movable disc, the movable disc is compressed and rotates around the hinge connecting assembly until its front end contacts the ground. During this process, the compression spring is further compressed; this is the second state of the vehicle platform structure. After the tire passes, the movable disc, under the action of the compression spring, is in contact with the front disc but not with the ground, i.e., the vehicle platform structure is back to the first state.

[0008] In a further preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the elastic connection assembly further includes a pad, a spring seat, and a locking member. The rod body passes sequentially through the rear end face of the movable disc, the front end face of the front disc, the pad, the compression spring, and the spring seat. The locking member is located behind the spring seat. The connecting rod passes sequentially through the rear end face of the movable disc, the front end face of the front disc, the pad, the compression spring, and the spring seat, and is finally secured by the locking member.

[0009] In the above technical solution, a further preferred embodiment is that the side of the pad that contacts the rear end face of the front disc is an arc surface. Setting the side of the pad that contacts the rear end face of the front disc as an arc surface can alleviate fatigue of the pad due to contact stress with the front disc during operation.

[0010] In the above technical solution, it is further preferred that the spring seat includes a base plate and a ring of side plates, and a recessed groove is formed between the base plate and the side plates to prevent the compression spring from being over-compressed. The opening of the recessed groove faces the pad. The spring seat is provided with a recessed groove, thereby giving the spring seat a certain depth to avoid the compression spring from failing due to excessive compression caused by the large height difference between the road surface and the garage floor.

[0011] In the above technical solution, and more preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the opening of the recessed groove is smaller than the area of ​​the side of the pad that is away from the rear end face of the front disc. This ensures that the pad can block the spring seat during further compression of the compression spring, thus protecting the compression spring from over-compression and failure.

[0012] In the above technical solution, preferably, the depth of the recessed groove is greater than the length of the compression spring when it is compressed to its limit.

[0013] In the above technical solution, more preferably, the hinge connection assembly includes a first hinge, a rotating shaft, and a second hinge. The first hinge is connected to the rear end face of the movable disc, and the second hinge is connected to the lower part of the front disc. The rotating shaft is located to the lower left of the first and second hinges, so that the movable disc can rotate around the rotating shaft of the hinge connection assembly under pressure, thereby allowing its front end to contact the ground, or after the vehicle passes, it can rotate in the opposite direction around the rotating shaft, thereby allowing its rear end face to fit against the front end face of the front disc.

[0014] In the above technical solution, a further preferred embodiment is that multiple sets of the connecting components are provided between the active disk and the front disk.

[0015] The second objective of this invention is to provide a multi-level parking garage that allows vehicles to enter and exit smoothly even when there is a height difference between the garage and the ground.

[0016] To achieve the second objective mentioned above, the present invention adopts the following technical solution;

[0017] A multi-level parking garage includes a vehicle-carrying platform structure as described in any of the above-mentioned technical solutions. The multi-level parking garage includes a garage platform for parking vehicles and a vehicle-carrying platform structure installed at the front end of the garage platform. The garage platform has a garage plane, and vehicles can smoothly enter and exit the multi-level platform via the vehicle-carrying platform structure located at the front end of the garage platform.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are as follows: The vehicle-carrying platform structure of the present invention, by setting an elastic connecting component and a hinge connecting component between the movable platform and the front platform, utilizes the elastic force of the elastic connecting component to keep the movable platform in contact with the front platform when no vehicle passes over it and it is not under pressure, and the movable platform does not contact the ground; when a vehicle tire drives onto the movable platform, the movable platform is compressed and rotates around the hinge connecting component until the front end contacts the ground; after the tire passes, the movable platform returns to the state of being in contact with the front platform and not in contact with the ground under the action of the elastic connecting component, thereby realizing that when there is a height difference between the garage platform and the ground, the vehicle-carrying platform structure can enable vehicles to enter and exit the garage smoothly; the three-dimensional garage of the present invention, by setting the above-mentioned vehicle-carrying platform structure, enables vehicles to enter and exit the garage smoothly.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, apparatus, product, or device that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or devices.

[0029] Example: Refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment of a three-dimensional parking garage includes a parking garage platform 300 and a vehicle-carrying plate structure 400 installed at the front end of the parking garage platform 300. The vehicle-carrying plate structure 400 allows vehicles to smoothly enter and exit the parking garage and arrive at or leave the parking garage platform 300 when there is a height difference between the parking garage plane and the road surface.

[0030] Combination Figures 4-6 The vehicle platform structure 400 includes a vehicle platform body and multiple sets of connecting assemblies 200. The vehicle platform body includes a movable disc 101 and a front disc 102. The movable disc 101 is connected to the front end of the front disc 102 through multiple connecting assemblies 200. Specifically, the connecting assemblies 200 include elastic connecting assemblies and hinge connecting assemblies. The elastic connecting assemblies pass sequentially through the rear end face of the movable disc 101 and the front end face of the front disc 102. The lower part of the movable disc 101 and the lower part of the front disc 102 are connected by the hinge connecting assemblies, which allow the movable disc 101 to rotate around them. When the movable disc 101 is not under pressure, its rear end face is in contact with the front end face of the front disc 102 under the elastic force of the elastic connecting component. When the movable disc 101 is under pressure, it can rotate around the hinge connecting component until its front end contacts the ground. After the tire passes over it, the movable disc 101 rotates in the opposite direction around the hinge connecting component under the action of the elastic connecting component and then contacts the front disc 102 again. This allows the vehicle tire to smoothly pass over the vehicle carrier structure 400 to reach the garage even when there is a height difference between the garage plane 300 and the road surface. Thus, the three-dimensional garage of this embodiment, by setting the above-mentioned vehicle carrier structure 400, enables vehicles to smoothly enter and exit the garage.

[0031] In this embodiment, the vehicle-carrying platform structure 400 of the automated parking system has two states. In the first state, the movable platform 101 is not compressed, the movable platform 101 is in contact with the front platform 102, and the movable platform 101 is not in contact with the ground. (See [link]). Figure 5 In the second state, the movable disk 101 rotates under pressure around the hinge connection assembly until its front end contacts the ground, see [link / reference]. Figure 6 Thus, vehicles enter and exit the garage platform 300 of the multi-level parking garage via the vehicle carrier structure 400.

[0032] Specifically, combined again Figure 5 and Figure 6The elastic connection assembly includes a pad 201, a compression spring 202, a spring seat 203, a connecting rod 204, and a locking member 205. The connecting rod 204 passes sequentially through the rear end face of the movable disc 101, the front end face of the front disc 102, the pad 201, the compression spring 202, and the spring seat 203. The locking member 205 is located behind the spring seat 203, meaning that the elastic connection assembly is ultimately secured by the locking member 205. The side of the pad 201 that contacts the rear end face of the front disc 102 is designed as an arc surface, which can alleviate fatigue caused by contact stress between the pad 201 and the front disc 102 during operation. The spring seat 203 includes a base plate and a ring of side plates. A recessed groove is formed between the base plate and the side plates to prevent the compression spring 202 from being over-compressed. The opening of the recessed groove faces the pad 201. The depth of the recessed groove is greater than the length of the compression spring 202 when compressed to its limit, and the cross-sectional area at the opening of the recessed groove is smaller than the area of ​​the side of the pad 201 away from the rear end face of the front disc 102. The recessed groove in the spring seat 203 provides a certain depth, and the cross-sectional area at the opening of the recessed groove is smaller than the area of ​​the side of the pad 201 away from the rear end face of the front disc 102. This ensures that the pad 201 can block the spring seat 203 during further compression of the compression spring 202, thus protecting the compression spring 202 from over-compression and failure. The hinge connection assembly includes a first hinge 211, a rotating shaft 213, and a second hinge 212. The first hinge 211 is connected to the rear end face of the movable plate 101, and the second hinge 212 is connected to the lower part of the front plate 102. The rotating shaft 213 is located below and to the left of the front side of the first hinge 211 and the second hinge 212. The compression spring 202 is pre-compressed to a certain extent during installation. At this time, the movable plate 101 is not compressed, and the vehicle platform structure 400 is in the first state. In this state, the movable plate 101 is not in contact with the ground, and the rear end face of the movable plate 101 is in contact with the front end face of the front plate 102. The elastic connection assembly is arranged horizontally, such as... Figure 5 As shown. When the vehicle tires drive onto the movable disc 101, the movable disc 101 is compressed and rotates around the hinge connection assembly until the front end contacts the ground. During this process, the compression spring 202 is further compressed, and this state is as follows. Figure 6 As shown, the vehicle platform structure 400 is in the second state. After the tire passes, the movable disc 101 rotates in the opposite direction around the hinge connection assembly under the action of the compression spring 202 and returns to its original position. Figure 5 The vehicle platform structure 400 is in the first state.

[0033] The vehicle-carrying platform structure 400 in the three-dimensional parking garage of the present invention, by setting an elastic connecting component and a hinge connecting component between the movable platform 101 and the front platform 102, utilizes the elastic force of the elastic connecting component to keep the movable platform 101 in contact with the front platform 102 when no vehicle passes over it and it is not under pressure, and the movable platform 101 is not in contact with the ground, the vehicle-carrying platform structure 400 is in a first state; when a vehicle tire drives onto the movable platform 101, the movable platform 101 is under pressure and rotates around the hinge connecting component until the front end contacts the ground, the vehicle-carrying platform structure 400 is in a second state; after the tire passes, the movable platform 101 rotates in the opposite direction around the hinge connecting component under the action of the elastic connecting component and returns to the state of being in contact with the front platform 102 and not in contact with the ground, that is, the vehicle-carrying platform structure 400 is back to the first state, thereby enabling vehicles to enter and exit the garage smoothly when there is a height difference between the garage platform and the ground. Because the three-dimensional parking garage 400 is installed at the front end of the parking garage platform 300, the three-dimensional parking garage of the present invention can enable vehicles to enter and exit the parking garage smoothly even when there is a height difference between it and the ground.

[0034] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the invention. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the present invention should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
