[0032] Please refer to Figure 1In some embodiments, a multi-level parking garage 100 with multiple parking spaces includes: a vehicle carrier 200, a ground traversing device 300, a first lifting device 400, a lifting traversing device 500, and a second lifting device 600. The vehicle carrier 200 is used to place vehicles. The ground traversing device 300 is connected to the vehicle carrier 200 and is capable of sliding the vehicle carrier 200 along the length of the multi-level parking garage 100, allowing the vehicle carrier 200 to slide between two adjacent parking spaces. Besides the length of the multi-level parking garage 100, it can also slide along the width of the multi-level parking garage 100. The first lifting device 400 is connected to the vehicle carrier 200 and is capable of transferring the vehicle carrier 200 from the ground traversing device 300 to the ground, or transferring the vehicle carrier 200 from the ground to the ground traversing device 300. Above; the lifting and traversing device 500 is connected to the vehicle platform 200. The lifting and traversing device 500 can move along the height direction of the multi-level parking garage 100 to drive the vehicle platform 200 to move along the height direction of the multi-level parking garage 100. The lifting and traversing device 500 can also make the vehicle platform 200 slide along the length direction of the multi-level parking garage 100 so that the vehicle platform 200 can slide between two adjacent parking spaces. In addition to sliding along the length direction of the multi-level parking garage 100, the lifting and traversing device 500 can also slide along the width direction of the multi-level parking garage 100. The second lifting device 600 is connected to the vehicle platform 200. The second lifting device 600 can transfer the vehicle platform 200 from the ground traversing device 300 to the lifting and traversing device 500, or the second lifting device 600 can transfer the vehicle platform 200 from the lifting and traversing device 500 to the ground traversing device 300.

[0033] Specifically, by working simultaneously and cooperating with the ground lateral movement device 300, the first lifting device 400, the lifting and lateral movement device 500, and the second lifting device 600, the vehicle carrier 200 can be quickly transferred. Furthermore, vehicles on the vehicle carrier 200 can be parked or retrieved from the multi-level parking garage 100. In this way, the multi-level parking garage 100 can improve the efficiency of retrieving and parking vehicles and save time.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2Furthermore, taking the retrieval and parking of vehicles in the automated parking garage 100 as an example, the process is explained in detail as follows: When parking, the vehicle is placed on the ground-level vehicle platform 200 in the entrance / exit hall of the automated parking garage 100. Then, the ground-level vehicle platform 200 and the vehicle on it are transferred to the ground-level vehicle platform 200 via the ground-level lateral movement device 300. Further, the second lifting device 600 lifts the vehicle platform 200 and the vehicle on it to a designated floor of the automated parking garage 100, such as the fifth floor. Simultaneously, the lifting and lateral movement device 50... The second lifting device 600 rises, positioning the lifting and traversing device 500 below it. The second lifting device 600 places the vehicle platform 200 and the vehicle on it onto the lifting and traversing device 500. Thus, the second lifting device 600 can transfer the vehicle platform 200 from the ground traversing device 300 to the lifting and traversing device 500. Furthermore, the lifting and traversing device 500 moves the vehicle platform 200 and the vehicle on it laterally to an adjacent parking space on the same floor, thereby parking the vehicle in a parking space within the multi-level parking garage 100.

[0035] It should be noted that after the second lifting device 600 places the car carrier 200 and the vehicle onto the lifting and traversing device 500, the second lifting device 600 will descend to transfer the car carrier 200 and the vehicle from the ground traversing device 300 to parking spaces on other floors. Then, the lifting and traversing device 500 will be below the second lifting device 600, traversing the car carrier 200 and the vehicle into the parking space. Specifically, each device, after completing its task of transferring the car carrier 200 and the vehicle on it, will perform the next repeating action. In this way, the automated parking garage 100 has a high parking efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, when retrieving the vehicle, the lifting and traversing device 500 will transfer the vehicle platform 200 and the vehicle on the vehicle platform 200 from the parking space to the lifting and traversing device 500. Then, the second lifting device 600 will transfer the vehicle platform 200 to the ground traversing device 300, and the ground traversing device 300 will transfer the vehicle platform 200 to the ground, so that the vehicle can be retrieved.

[0037] Specifically, the ground lateral movement device 300 can also be used to transfer the vehicle carrier 200 and the vehicle on the vehicle carrier 200. For example, when the ground lateral movement device 300 is on the first floor of the multi-level parking garage 100, and the vehicle is parked on the ground vehicle carrier 200 in the entrance hall of the multi-level parking garage 100, the ground lateral movement device 300 can then transfer the vehicle carrier 200 and the vehicle on the vehicle carrier 200 to the parking space on the first floor. When there is no vehicle carrier 200 in the entrance hall, the first lifting device 400 can transfer the vehicle carrier 200 from the storage room 800 to the ground lateral movement device 300, and then transfer the vehicle carrier 200 to the parking space in the entrance hall via the ground lateral movement device 300.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the ground traversing device 300 includes a first motor, a first chain, a plurality of first gears, a connecting block, and a first body. The plurality of first gears are rotatably connected to the first body, the first chain is wound around the plurality of first gears, the connecting block is connected to the chain, and the connecting block is connected to the vehicle carrier 200. The first motor can drive one of the first gears to rotate, thereby causing the plurality of first gears to rotate and drive the chain and the connecting block to move, and causing the connecting block to drive the vehicle carrier 200 to move. Specifically, the first motor can control the movement of the vehicle carrier 200 between parking spaces on the same floor of the multi-level parking garage 100, so that the vehicle carrier 200 and the vehicles on the vehicle carrier 200 can be parked.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the two ends of the connecting block protrude along the axial direction of the first gear, and the vehicle platform 200 has a buckle that is detachably engaged with the two ends of the connecting block. Specifically, the protruding ends of the connecting block and the buckle are detachably connected, so that they can be connected when the vehicle platform 200 needs to be transferred, and disconnected when the vehicle platform 200 does not need to be transferred, thus ensuring that the ground lateral movement device 300 will not accidentally activate the transfer of the vehicle platform 200.

[0040] In some embodiments, the buckle includes a body and two protrusions, which are respectively connected to both ends of the body, such that the two protrusions are spaced apart. Specifically, the buckle can be easily snapped onto the connecting block to allow the ground traversing device 300 and the vehicle platform 200 to be detachably connected.

[0041] In some embodiments, the lifting and traversing device 500 includes a second motor, a second chain, a plurality of second gears, a connecting block, and a second main body. The plurality of second gears are rotatably connected to the second main body, the second chain is wound around the plurality of second gears, the connecting block is connected to the chain, and the connecting block is connected to the vehicle platform 200. The second motor can drive one of the second gears to rotate, thereby causing the plurality of second gears to rotate and drive the chain and the connecting block to move, and causing the connecting block to drive the vehicle platform 200 to move. Specifically, the second motor can control the movement of the vehicle platform 200 between parking spaces on the same floor of the multi-level parking garage 100, so that the vehicle platform 200 and the vehicles on the vehicle platform 200 can be parked.

[0042] In some embodiments, the second lifting device 600 includes a second motor, a pulley, a wire rope, and a hook. The vehicle platform 200 is provided with a ring. The second motor is connected to the pulley. One end of the wire rope is wound around the pulley, and the other end of the wire rope is connected to the hook, which is detachably connected to the ring. The second motor can drive the pulley to rotate, so that the pulley winds up the wire rope. Specifically, the wire rope of the second lifting device 600 can smoothly lift the vehicle platform 200 and the vehicle on it when hoisting the vehicle platform 200, thereby reducing the occurrence of accidents.

[0043] In some embodiments, multiple second motors, pulleys, wire ropes, and hooks are provided, and multiple rings are provided, with each hook detachably connected to a ring. Specifically, there may be four rings, which are spaced apart at the corners of the vehicle platform 200 to ensure that the wire rope can lift the vehicle platform 200 smoothly and safely.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the automated parking garage 100 is further provided with a storage room 800, which is located on the ground and is used to place vehicle carriers 200. Specifically, the storage room 800 can be a pit, which can hold a large number of vehicle carriers 200 and save space, giving the automated parking garage 100 a high space utilization rate.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the automated parking garage 100 further includes a slewing device 700, which includes a chassis and a third motor. The chassis is used to hold vehicles, and the third motor is used to drive the chassis to rotate, thereby causing the chassis and the vehicle to rotate. Specifically, the slewing device 700 can turn the vehicle around when it enters or exits the automated parking garage 100, to facilitate the vehicle's entry or exit from the automated parking garage 100.

[0046] In some embodiments, the lifting and traversing device 500 includes a lifting platform and a traversing vehicle, the traversing vehicle being detachably mounted on the upper surface of the lifting platform. Specifically, to facilitate the installation of the lifting and traversing device 500 in the automated parking garage 100 by workers, the lifting platform and the traversing vehicle of the lifting and traversing device 500 can be separated, thus facilitating the step-by-step installation by workers.

[0047] In some embodiments, the automated parking garage 100 further includes a guide rail, to which the lifting platform is slidably connected, and the lifting platform can move relative to the guide rail along the height direction of the automated parking garage 100. Specifically, the guide rail allows the lifting platform to slide more smoothly, thereby ensuring greater safety when the lifting platform carrying the vehicle platform 200 rises and falls vertically, and avoiding damage to the vehicle.

[0048] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
