Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of parking equipment technology, and in particular to a multi-level parking garage. Background Technology

[0002] As the number of vehicles increases, the demand for parking also gradually increases. Therefore, in order to effectively solve the problem of scarce parking space, multi-story parking garages have emerged.

[0003] In related technologies, multi-level parking garages all leave space for horizontal and vertical movement of vehicles. For example, a multi-level parking garage that can theoretically park three cars can only park two cars at most due to the occupation of the passage space. As a result, the vehicle density is less than 66%, and the space utilization rate is not high. Therefore, how to make multi-level parking garages with limited space accommodate more vehicles has become a problem. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a multi-level parking garage that can accommodate more vehicles and has a high parking density.

[0005] A multi-level parking garage according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0006] The frame has a three-dimensional structure and is equipped with multiple parking spaces;

[0007] A vehicle carrier platform, used for placing vehicles;

[0008] A crane structure is disposed on top of the frame. The crane structure includes a first guide rail, a traveling trolley, a first motor, and a connecting member. The first motor is mounted on the traveling trolley and connected to the connecting member. The first motor is rotatable to cause the connecting member to retract or extend. The traveling trolley is slidably connected to the first guide rail, which is parallel to the width direction of the frame, so that the traveling trolley drives the first motor and the connecting member to slide relative to the first guide rail along the width direction of the frame.

[0009] Multiple lateral sliding structures are provided corresponding to multiple parking spaces. Each lateral sliding structure includes a base plate, on which the vehicle carrier plate is placed. The lateral sliding structure can slide along the length of the frame to drive the vehicle carrier plate to slide.

[0010] The connector slides along the width of the frame and is detachably connected to the vehicle platform so that the vehicle platform can be detached from or placed on the base plate.

[0011] The multi-level parking garage according to embodiments of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: In related technologies, multi-level parking garages leave passageways for the horizontal and vertical movement of vehicles, especially in the vertical direction, where multiple rows of parking spaces are provided to facilitate the transfer of vehicles from the bottom floor to the upper floor. However, in this application, the crane structure slides along the width of the frame, that is, the crane slides between multiple rows of parking spaces. Thus, only one row of parking spaces is needed for the crane structure to transfer vehicles in the vertical direction, and the remaining multiple rows of parking spaces can be used to park vehicles. In this way, the multi-level parking garage can accommodate more vehicles and has a higher parking density.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in a multi-level parking garage, one end of the connector is provided with a first hook, and the vehicle platform is provided with a second hook, wherein the first hook and the second hook are detachably connected.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the multi-level parking garage has multiple connectors and multiple second hooks, with the multiple second hooks spaced apart on the vehicle platform.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the horizontal sliding structure of the automated parking system further includes a second motor for driving the base plate to slide along the length direction of the frame.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the automated parking garage further includes an entrance transfer structure, the entrance transfer structure including a third hook and a third motor, the third motor being used to drive the third hook to transfer the vehicle carrier plate onto the base plate.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the frame of the automated parking system further includes a storage room disposed below the entrance transfer structure, the storage room being used to place the vehicle carrier plate.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the automated parking system further includes a rotating structure, which includes a chassis and a fourth motor. The chassis is used to place the vehicle, and the fourth motor is used to drive the chassis to rotate, so that the chassis and the vehicle rotate.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the crane structure of the automated parking system further includes limiting members disposed at both ends of the first guide rail, the limiting members being used to restrict the sliding of the vehicle relative to the first guide rail.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the horizontal sliding structure includes a second guide rail, and a pulley is provided at the bottom of the base plate, the pulley being able to slide on the second guide rail.

[0020] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the crane structure further includes a fifth motor, and the trolley is capable of sliding under drive. The fifth motor is used to drive the trolley to slide relative to the first guide rail along the width direction of the frame.

Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the multi-level parking garage 100 includes: a frame 200, a vehicle-carrying platform 300, a crane structure 400, and multiple lateral movement structures 500. The frame 200 has a three-dimensional structure and is provided with multiple parking spaces. The multiple parking spaces are arranged in rows along the length direction of the frame 200, in columns along the width direction of the frame 200, and in layers along the height direction of the frame 200. The vehicle-carrying platform 300 is used to place vehicles 900. There can be multiple vehicle-carrying platforms 300, each corresponding to one of the multiple parking spaces. The crane structure 400 is located on the top of the frame 200 and includes a first guide rail, a traveling crane, a first motor, and connecting parts. The first motor is mounted on the traveling crane. The first motor is connected to the connector and can rotate to cause the connector to contract or extend. The trolley is slidably connected to the first guide rail, which is parallel to the width direction of the frame 200, so that the trolley drives the first motor and the connector to slide relative to the first guide rail along the width direction of the frame 200. Multiple lateral movement structures 500 are correspondingly arranged with multiple parking spaces. The lateral movement structure 500 includes a base plate, and a vehicle platform 300 is placed on the base plate. The lateral movement structure 500 can slide along the length direction of the frame 200 to drive the vehicle platform 300 to slide. The connector slides along the width direction of the frame 200 and can be detachably connected to the vehicle platform 300 so that the vehicle platform 300 can be detached from or placed on the base plate.

[0037] Specifically, in related technologies, the multi-level parking garage 100 provides passageways for the horizontal and vertical movement of vehicles 900. In particular, in the vertical direction, multiple rows of parking spaces are provided to facilitate the transfer of vehicles 900 from the lower level to the upper level. In this application, the crane structure 400 slides in the width direction of the frame 200, that is, the crane slides between multiple rows of parking spaces. Thus, only one row of parking spaces is needed for the crane structure 400 to transfer vehicles 900 in the vertical direction, and the remaining multiple rows of parking spaces can be used to park vehicles 900. In this way, the multi-level parking garage 100 can park more vehicles 900 and has a higher parking density.

[0038] The following detailed explanation is in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Please refer to them. Figure 1From a top view, the related multi-level parking garage 100 can be visualized as follows: along the width direction, each of the four rows of parking spaces in the middle has a crane structure 400 mounted on top, resulting in four crane structures 400. Since each row of crane structures 400 is used to lift vehicles 900 from the lower level to the upper level, these four rows of parking spaces cannot be used for actual parking, as they are primarily used for transferring vehicles 900 from lower to higher or vice versa. Specifically, along the length direction, the multi-level parking garage 100 has three rows of parking spaces. In this related technology, vehicles 900 can only park in the parking spaces on either side of the middle position. That is, the multi-level parking garage 100, theoretically capable of accommodating three vehicles, can only accommodate a maximum of two vehicles due to the occupied aisle space, resulting in a vehicle density of less than 66%. Therefore, the parking density of the multi-level parking garage 100 in this related technology is low.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 In the automated parking garage 100 of this application, since the crane structure 400 can slide along the width direction of the frame 200, the sliding of one crane structure 400 only requires the automated parking garage 100 to free up one row of parking spaces for the crane structure 400 to transfer the vehicle 900 in the vertical direction. Therefore, compared to the automated parking garage 100 in the aforementioned related technologies, this application provides two more rows of parking spaces for the vehicle 900.

[0040] The following will provide a more detailed explanation; please refer to [the provided text]. Figure 3 and Figure 6 How does parking and retrieving work in the automated parking garage 100? After vehicle 900 enters the automated parking garage 100, it can be parked on the vehicle carrier platform 300. Then, the base plate of the transverse sliding structure 500 slides the vehicle carrier platform 300 and vehicle 900 below the crane structure 400. For example, if the frame 200 has three rows along its length, the crane structure 400 is installed at the top of the second row and slides along the width of the frame 200. Furthermore, the connecting piece of the crane structure 400 is extended and connected to the vehicle carrier platform 300 by a first motor. Then, by retracting the connecting piece using the first motor, the vehicle carrier platform 300 and vehicle 900 can rise vertically. For example, if they need to rise to the top level, after the vehicle carrier platform 300 and vehicle 900 reach the top level, the base plate of the transverse sliding structure 500 transfers the vehicle carrier platform 300 and vehicle 900 to the first row of parking spaces. In this way, the automated parking garage 100 completes the parking process. It can be imagined that when the crane structure 400 slides to a certain row of parking spaces, that row of parking spaces becomes the vertical passage space of the multi-level parking garage 100, while the other multiple rows of parking spaces can be used to park vehicles 900.

[0041] Furthermore, the instructions for retrieving a car from the multi-level parking garage 100 will be provided. For example, the multi-level parking garage 100 has three rows along its length, four columns along its width, and six levels along its height. (Refer to...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 Vehicle 900 is located in the first row, second column, fifth level. Specifically, vehicle 900 and vehicle platform 300 are first transferred to the middle position of the second row, second column, fifth level via the transverse sliding structure 500. At this time, the crane structure 400 slides to the position of the second column. Thus, the second row, second column becomes the vertical passage space of the automated parking garage 100, which is not used for parking. Then, the first motor of the crane structure 400 drives the connecting piece to lift the vehicle platform 300 and vehicle 900, extending the connecting piece so that the vehicle platform 300 and vehicle 900 can reach the bottom level. In this embodiment, the exit and entrance of the automated parking garage 100 can be set at each column on the bottom level to facilitate the exit of vehicle 900.

[0042] Furthermore, in some other embodiments, a column of the second row can be fixed as a passageway space, while the remaining columns are used for parking. Then, a crane structure 400 moves the vehicle carrier 300 and the vehicle 900 along the width of the frame 200 to the fixed column serving as the passageway space for vehicle retrieval. For example, if the first column of the second row serves as the passageway space, to retrieve the vehicle 900 from the fifth layer of the second column of the first row, the vehicle 900 is moved from the first row to the second row using a lateral movement structure 500. Then, the crane structure 400 lifts the vehicle 900 to the sixth layer. At this point, the vehicle carrier 300 and the vehicle 900, originally located on the sixth layer, can be moved laterally to the first or third row to free up space in the second row. Further, the crane structure 400 lifts the vehicle carrier 300 and the vehicle 900 from the second column of the sixth layer to the first column of the sixth layer, and then places the vehicle 900 from the sixth layer to the first layer. In this embodiment, when the first column of the second row serves as a passageway, the exit and entrance of the multi-level parking garage 100 can be set at the first column to facilitate the exit of the vehicle 900.

[0043] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the parking capacity of 900 vehicles in this application is: Q = m * n * ppn - s + 1, where m is the row, n is the column, p is the floor, s is the number of parking spaces in the entrance / exit hall, and 1 represents the number of parking spaces added during the calculation when reducing floors and columns. For example, if the equipment has 3 rows, 7 columns, and 8 floors, and the entrance / exit hall occupies 6 parking spaces, the number of parking spaces Q = 3 * 7 * 8 - 8 - 7 - 6 + 1 = 148. The parking floor vehicle density is 20 / 21 = 95.2%, and the average vehicle density is 148 / 168 = 88.1%. In contrast, traditional equipment can only accommodate a maximum of (3-1) * 7 * 8 - 6 = 106 vehicles, with a parking floor vehicle density of 14 / 21 = 66.7% and an average vehicle density of 106 / 168 = 63.1%.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, one end of the connector is provided with a first hook, and the vehicle platform 300 is provided with a second hook, the first hook and the second hook being detachably connected. Specifically, by connecting the first hook and the second hook, the connector can easily connect to the vehicle platform 300 and hoist the vehicle platform 300.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, multiple connectors and multiple second hooks are provided, with the multiple second hooks spaced apart on the vehicle platform 300. Specifically, there can be four connectors and four second hooks, with the four second hooks spaced apart at the four corners of the vehicle platform 300. In this way, when the connectors lift the vehicle platform 300, they can lift the vehicle platform 300 smoothly, providing a certain degree of safety for the vehicle platform 300.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the lateral movement structure 500 further includes a second motor for driving the base plate to slide along the length of the frame 200. Specifically, the second motor can be connected to the base plate, for example, via chain drive, to slide the base plate along the length of the frame 200. In this way, the second motor can save some manpower and has better stability.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the automated parking garage 100 further includes an entrance transfer structure 600, which includes a third hook and a third motor. The third motor drives the third hook to transfer the vehicle platform 300 onto the floor. Specifically, the entrance transfer structure 600 can transfer the vehicle 900 and the vehicle platform 300 onto the floor after the vehicle 900 enters the automated parking garage 100, and the vehicle 900 is transferred by sliding across the floor.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the frame 200 further includes a storage chamber 700 disposed below the entrance transfer structure 600. The storage chamber 700 is used to place the vehicle platform 300. Specifically, the entrance transfer structure 600 can transfer the vehicle platform 300 to the floor plate, or it can transfer the vehicle platform 300 on the floor plate to the storage chamber 700. In this way, after the vehicle 900 drives out of the vehicle platform 300, the vehicle platform 300 can be placed in the storage chamber 700 to free up space and not affect the parking of other vehicles 900 or the operation of the lateral movement structure 500.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the automated parking garage 100 further includes a rotating structure 800, which includes a chassis and a fourth motor. The chassis is used to hold the vehicle 900, and the fourth motor is used to drive the chassis to rotate, thereby causing the chassis and the vehicle 900 to rotate. Specifically, the rotating structure 800 can turn the vehicle 900 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.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the crane structure 400 further includes limiting members disposed at both ends of the first guide rail. These limiting members restrict the sliding of the crane relative to the first guide rail. Specifically, the limiting members protect the crane from sliding relative to the first guide rail, preventing potential danger in the event of brake failure.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the lateral movement structure 500 includes a second guide rail, and a pulley is provided at the bottom of the base plate, allowing the pulley to slide on the second guide rail. Specifically, the sliding of the pulley and the second guide rail can be smoother, thereby increasing the efficiency of the lateral movement of the base plate and indirectly improving work efficiency.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the crane structure 400 also includes a fifth motor, which drives the trolley to slide relative to the first guide rail along the width direction of the frame 200. Specifically, controlling the trolley's sliding with the fifth motor allows for smoother and more precise sliding along the first guide rail, enabling the first motor to better extend the connecting member to lift the loading platform 300 and the vehicle 900.

[0053] 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.
