[0022] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. This smart home lifting mechanism, when needed to store a bicycle, involves bringing the bicycle's front wheel close to the connecting plate so that two sliding blocks on the connecting plate can contact the front wheel. When the sliding blocks contact the front wheel, the front wheel engages with the clamping devices on the sliding blocks, clamping and engaging the gap between the front wheel hub and the bicycle. This secures the bicycle to the smart lifting device via the sliding blocks and clamping devices. An external drive mechanism then drives the sliding blocks to slide on the connecting plate, lifting the front of the bicycle and allowing it to be placed perpendicular to the ground. Since the bicycle tires do not directly contact the wall but rest against the connecting plate, compared to traditional hanging storage methods, this device significantly reduces the risk of the bicycle contaminating the wall and minimizes the damage to the wall surface caused by installing a locator, thus avoiding any aesthetic issues.

[0024] 2. To prevent the clamping block from loosening during the movement, the smart home lifting mechanism includes an auxiliary fixing mechanism inside the clamping block. This auxiliary fixing mechanism can pop out from the clamping block to provide auxiliary fixing. Even if the clamping block becomes loose, the auxiliary fixing mechanism can still engage the wheel hub. The auxiliary fixing mechanism includes a groove inside the clamping block, and an auxiliary clamping block that matches the groove is slidably installed inside the groove. When the two clamping blocks rotate toward the center of the connecting plate, the two auxiliary clamping blocks will also connect with each other, forming a secondary engagement, thereby providing auxiliary fixing to the wheel hub and preventing the bicycle from immediately falling off if the clamping block becomes loose.

[0032] 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 are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] When storing bicycles at home, they are either hung on the wall using a hanging device or placed in a certain space within the house. The former usually damages the wall, thus affecting the aesthetics of the wall and the overall appearance of the house, while the latter takes up a lot of space, affecting the normal arrangement and design of furniture in the house.

[0035] Therefore, to optimize the placement of bicycles at home, please refer to... Figure 1-6 A smart home lifting mechanism includes a base plate 1, a top plate 2 on the upper side of the base plate 1, a connecting plate 3 between the base plate 1 and the top plate 2, the base plate 1 and the top plate 2 being connected by the connecting plate 3, and a sliding block 4 on the connecting plate 3, with two sliding blocks 4 symmetrically arranged on the connecting plate 3, and a clamping device on each of the two sliding blocks 4, the clamping device being used to fix the bicycle tire.

[0036] The clamping device includes a sliding groove formed on the sliding block 4, and a clamping block 52 is rotatably disposed inside the sliding block 4, and the clamping block 52 is adapted to the sliding groove.

[0037] A rotating shaft 9 is rotatably mounted inside the sliding block 4, and a moving mechanism is mounted on the rotating shaft 9. The moving mechanism is used to adjust the rotation range of the clamping block 52.

[0038] The moving mechanism includes a cam 101 mounted on a rotating shaft 9. An elastic limiting band 102 is also provided inside the rotating shaft 9, and the cam 101 intermittently abuts against the elastic limiting band 102.

[0039] The sliding block 4 is also provided with an auxiliary spring piece 11, and there are multiple auxiliary spring pieces 11. The multiple auxiliary spring pieces 11 are symmetrically arranged on the elastic limiting band 102 and elastically connected to it.

[0040] In this embodiment: When the bicycle needs to be stored, the front wheel of the bicycle is brought close to the connecting plate 3, so that the two sliding blocks 4 slidably set on the connecting plate 3 can contact the front wheel. When the sliding blocks 4 contact the front wheel, the front wheel will contact the clamping device on the sliding blocks 4, so that the clamping device set on the two sliding blocks 4 clamps and engages with the gap of the front wheel hub. Thus, the bicycle is fixed on the intelligent lifting device by the sliding blocks 4 and the clamping device. The sliding blocks 4 are driven to slide on the connecting plate 3 by the external drive device, thereby lifting the front part of the bicycle, so that the bicycle can be placed perpendicular to the ground. At the same time, since the bicycle tires do not directly contact the wall, but abut against the connecting plate 3, compared with the traditional hanging storage method, this device can avoid the bicycle from polluting the wall to a large extent, and also minimizes the problem of damage to the wall surface caused by installing the locator, which affects the aesthetics of the wall.

[0041] To facilitate the securing of the front wheel, the clamping device includes a sliding groove formed on the sliding block 4. The sliding block 4 is hollow, and a clamping block 52 is rotatably disposed inside the sliding block 4. The clamping block 52 is also slidably disposed in the sliding groove. The clamping block 52 is inclinedly disposed inside the sliding block 4. The two sides of the clamping block 52 have different shapes. One side is horizontal, and the other side has a certain curvature. The curved side is close to the wheel hub and located at the edge of the connecting plate 3, while the more horizontal side is close to the center of the connecting plate 3, so that the clamping block 52 is inclinedly disposed inside the sliding block 4.

[0042] When the wheel approaches the connecting plate 3, it will abut against the horizontal side of the clamping block 52, causing it to slide from the center of the connecting plate 3 to the edge. This causes the curved side of the clamping block 52 to move from the edge of the connecting plate 3 to the center, until the two clamping blocks 52 cooperate with each other and are inserted into the gap of the wheel hub, thus completing the work of fixing the front wheel of the bicycle.

[0043] In order to improve the rotational response speed of the clamping block 52 after being resisted by the wheel, so that it can quickly change from the initial position to the clamping state, a rotating shaft 9 is rotatably provided inside the sliding block 4, and a moving mechanism is provided on the rotating shaft 9. The clamping block 52 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 9 through the moving mechanism, and the moving mechanism allows the clamping block 52 to make rapid angle changes so as to clamp the wheel in time.

[0044] The moving mechanism includes a cam 101 mounted on a rotating shaft 9, and an elastic limiting band 102 is also installed inside the rotating shaft 9. The side of the cam 101 with a larger outer diameter is mounted on the rotating shaft 9, while the side with a smaller outer diameter intermittently abuts against the elastic limiting band 102.

[0045] The contact points between the cam 101 and the elastic limiting band 102 are two points symmetrical about the center point of the elastic limiting band 102. For example, the symmetrical points can be at a 45-degree angle and a 135-degree angle.

[0046] Since the cam 101 is furthest from the center of the elastic limiting band 102, it is difficult for the cam 101 to maintain balance at the center of the elastic limiting band 102. In some cases, the cam 101 may not make contact at the center of the elastic limiting band 102. However, the upper and lower sides of the elastic limiting band 102 are prone to contact with the cam 101 because the gap between them is short.

[0047] When the clamping block 52 rotates due to contact with the tire, the cam 101 moves from the upper contact point of the elastic limiting band 102 to the lower contact point. Since the elastic limiting band 102 applies resistance to the cam 101 at the upper fixed point, the initial velocity of the cam 101 is relatively high after overcoming this resistance. Because the middle of the elastic limiting band 102 cannot provide effective support, the cam 101 quickly passes the center point of the elastic limiting band 102 and enters the lower contact point, where it is again contacted and limited by the elastic limiting band 102. This achieves the purpose of allowing the clamping block 52 to quickly change angle.

[0048] Meanwhile, in order to assist the elastic limiting band 102 in fixing the cam 101, an auxiliary spring piece 11 is also provided at the fixing point position on the elastic limiting band 102. The auxiliary spring piece 11 can strengthen the contact force coefficient between the two fixing points and the cam 101, so that the clamping block 52 can clamp more firmly.

[0049] Example 2

[0050] Please see Figure 1-6 An auxiliary fixing mechanism is also provided inside the clamping block 52, which is used to enhance the fixing effect of the clamping block 52 on the wheel.

[0051] The auxiliary fixing mechanism includes a groove 121 formed in the clamping block 52, and an auxiliary clamping block 122 is slidably disposed in the groove 121.

[0052] The auxiliary clamping block 122 is also provided with a push-out spring 13, and the auxiliary clamping block 122 is also elastically connected to the clamping block 52 through the push-out spring 13.

[0053] The clamping block 52 is also provided with a reset mechanism, which is used to reset and limit the auxiliary clamping block 122;

[0054] The reset mechanism includes a connecting groove 141 formed on the clamping block 52, a positioning groove 142 provided on the rotating shaft 9, a strap 143 provided on the positioning groove 142, and the positioning groove 142 is connected to the auxiliary clamping block 122 through the strap 143.

[0055] In this embodiment: Since the clamping block 52 will move from the bottom to the top of the connecting plate 3 under the action of the external driving mechanism, in order to prevent the clamping block 52 from loosening during this movement, an auxiliary fixing mechanism is also provided in the clamping block 52. The auxiliary fixing mechanism can pop out from the clamping block 52 to achieve the effect of auxiliary fixing. That is, after the clamping block 52 becomes loose, the auxiliary fixing mechanism can still lock the wheel hub.

[0056] The auxiliary fixing mechanism includes a groove 121 formed in the clamping block 52, and an auxiliary clamping block 122 adapted to the groove 121 is slidably disposed in the groove 121. When the two clamping blocks 52 rotate toward the center of the connecting plate 3, the two auxiliary clamping blocks 122 will also connect with each other to form a secondary engagement, thereby assisting in fixing the wheel hub and preventing the bicycle from falling off immediately after the clamping block 52 becomes loose.

[0057] An ejection spring 13 is provided on the auxiliary clamping block 122. The ejection spring 13 has a small elasticity and can only overcome the weight of the auxiliary clamping block 122. Therefore, the ejection spring 13 can only eject the auxiliary clamping block 122 after the two clamping blocks 52 are close to each other to a certain distance, so that the two auxiliary clamping blocks 122 cooperate with each other.

[0058] In order to limit and reset the auxiliary clamping block 122, a reset mechanism is provided on the clamping block 52, which includes a connecting groove 141 opened on the clamping block 52, so that the sliding groove 121 can be connected to the outside through the connecting groove 141. A positioning groove 142 is provided on the rotating shaft 9, and a strap 143 is also provided on the positioning groove 142. The positioning groove 142 is connected to the auxiliary fixing mechanism 1 through the strap 143.

[0059] The positioning groove 142 is located on the side with the smaller outer diameter on the rotating shaft 9. This results in a larger gap between the positioning groove 142 and the clamping block 52 when the rotating shaft 9 is at the upper fixed point, and a larger tension in the strap 143. This allows the auxiliary clamping block 122 to be pulled into the clamping block 52. When the clamping block 52 rotates, the gap between the positioning groove 142 and the clamping block 52 decreases. At this time, the strap 143 is in a more relaxed state. Therefore, the release spring 13 can push the auxiliary clamping block 122 out of the clamping block 52 for docking.

[0060] Meanwhile, to make the two auxiliary clamping blocks 122 more secure after docking, a spherical protrusion 151 is provided on one of the auxiliary clamping blocks 122, and a spherical groove 152 is provided on the other auxiliary clamping block 122. The spherical protrusion 151 and the spherical groove 152 are compatible with each other, and the spherical protrusion 151 is magnetic and can be magnetically connected with the auxiliary clamping block 122 with the spherical groove 152.

[0061] Example 3

[0062] Please see Figure 1-6 The connecting plate 3 also has a sliding platform 8, on which a combination plate 6 is provided. Two sliding blocks 4 are symmetrically installed on the combination plate 6, and a gap is left between the two sliding blocks 4.

[0063] The connecting plate 3 is also equipped with a drive mechanism, which is used to drive the moving stage 8 to move within the connecting plate 3.

[0064] The drive mechanism includes a drive gear 161 rotatably mounted on the top of the connecting plate 3, a driven gear 162 symmetrical to the drive gear 161 mounted on the bottom of the connecting plate 3, and a chain 163 mounted inside the connecting plate 3, wherein the driven gear 162 and the drive gear 161 are connected by the chain 163.

[0065] The moving platform 8 is mounted on the chain 163.

[0066] A motor 17 is also provided on the connecting plate 3, and a steering gear box 18 is also provided inside the connecting plate 3. The motor 17 is connected to the drive gear 161 through the steering gear box 18.

[0067] A pressure sensor 7 is also installed on the assembly plate 6, and the pressure sensor 7 is electrically connected to the motor 17.

[0068] In this embodiment: In order to drive the two sliding blocks 4 to slide synchronously on the connecting plate 3, a moving stage 8 is slidably arranged in the connecting plate 3, and a combination plate 6 is installed on the moving stage 8. Both sliding blocks 4 are installed on the combination plate 6, so that the two sliding blocks 4 can be formed into a whole through the combination plate 6 and are carried by the moving stage 8 to slide in the connecting plate 3.

[0069] Meanwhile, in order for the wheel to abut against the clamping block 52, the two sliding blocks 4 have a certain gap on the combination plate 6 and are symmetrically arranged on the combination plate 6.

[0070] A drive mechanism is provided inside the connecting plate 3. The drive mechanism is used to drive the moving platform 8 to slide on the connecting plate 3. The drive mechanism includes a driving gear 161 located at the top of the connecting plate 3 and a driven gear 162 located at the bottom of the connecting plate 3. The driving gear 161 and the driven gear 162 are rotatably connected to the connecting plate 3. A chain 163 is provided between the driving gear 161 and the driven gear 162. The driving gear 161 and the driven gear 162 are connected by the chain 163. The moving platform 8 is mounted on the chain 163. When the driving gear 161 is driven to rotate by an external device, it will drive the moving platform 8 to slide on the connecting plate 3, thereby driving the sliding block 4 connected to the moving platform 8 to drive the wheel hub to slide away from the ground, thus keeping the bicycle perpendicular to the ground.

[0071] A motor 17 is also provided on the connecting plate 3. The motor 17 is located on the front of the connecting plate 3 to save space. A steering gear box 18 is also provided inside the connecting plate 3. The output end of the motor 17 is connected to the rotating shaft of the drive gear 161 through the steering gear box 18, so that the motor 17 can drive the drive gear 161 to rotate inside the connecting plate 3.

[0072] Furthermore, a pressure sensor 7 is installed on the combination plate 6 between the two sliding blocks 4. The pressure sensor 7 is also electrically connected to the motor 17, so that when the vehicle comes into contact with the pressure sensor 7, the motor 17 can be driven to rotate.

[0073] A hanging rod 19 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 3. The hanging rod 19 can be used to hang clothes or cycling equipment, thereby improving the overall utilization of the device. A strap is also provided on the connecting plate 3. The strap can be used to tie and fix the bicycle, so as to cover the seat area and help strengthen the tightness of the fixation between the bicycle and the device.

[0074] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
