Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of parking lot vehicle-carrying equipment technology, and in particular to a vehicle-carrying rotation device for lifting and traversing parking. Background Technology

[0002] The lift-and-slide automated parking system mainly consists of a steel structure, power system, safety devices, electrical system, and transmission device. Within the steel structure, the parking areas can be heightened to accommodate different vehicle types, including common cars and SUVs.

[0003] Existing lift-and-slide parking systems typically require moving vehicles to different heights and then using transport equipment to drive them into different parking spaces, suitable for multi-level parking garages with arranged layouts. Circular intelligent multi-level parking garages, however, are a newer type of equipment that optimizes space utilization and facilitates cyclical operation, transporting vehicles to the nearest parking space in the shortest possible time. However, in circular multi-level parking garages, the vehicle needs to be rotated to a specific angle to correspond to a parking space. As the vehicle rotates with the transport equipment, the inertial force generated by the rotation can easily cause the tires to slip a certain distance, resulting in a slight deviation of the vehicle and affecting the accuracy of subsequent parking and retrieval processes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a vehicle rotation device for lifting and traversing parking.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a vehicle-carrying rotation device for lifting and traversing parking, comprising a positioning beam with a hexagonal structure, a vehicle-carrying rotation unit disposed above the positioning beam, and a matching drive unit disposed below the vehicle-carrying rotation unit for driving the vehicle-carrying rotation unit to rotate to a specified angle and connect with the entrance of the parking space.

[0006] The drive unit is located at the inner center of the positioning beam and extends below the positioning beam. The positioning beam is equipped with a guide structure adapted to the vehicle rotation unit.

[0007] Furthermore, the vehicle rotation unit includes a base plate, an accommodating channel for the sliding of the transport vehicle is installed above the base plate, and a limiting beam is installed at the edge of the base plate, with multiple reinforcing ribs installed at the bottom of the limiting beam.

[0008] Multiple sets of anti-slip bars that contact the vehicle tires are fixedly connected to the edge of the accommodating channel, and the anti-slip bars abut against the surface of the limiting beam.

[0009] Furthermore, each of the anti-slip rods is connected to multiple limiting strips via a pivot, and the upper ends of the limiting strips are located inside the two adjacent anti-slip rods.

[0010] The lower end of the limiting strip extends to the bottom of the anti-slip rod and is connected to a linkage arm via a pivot. The bottom end of the linkage arm is connected to a guide seat via a pivot. A matching bidirectional screw is installed on the guide seat. Both ends of the bidirectional screw are mated to the surface of the limiting beam, and the bidirectional screw is located in the interlayer between the bottom plate and the accommodating channel.

[0011] Furthermore, a driven gear is installed at the center of the bidirectional screw, and a driving gear is meshed on the driven gear. The shafts of both the driven gear and the driving gear are mounted on the surface of the base plate via a limiting seat. A servo motor adapted to the driving gear is installed on one side of the limiting seat.

[0012] Furthermore, the drive unit includes a linkage bracket installed below the reinforcing rib, a positioning plate is provided below the linkage bracket, a reducer and an industrial motor adapted to the reducer are installed below the positioning plate, and the main shaft of the reducer passes through the positioning plate and is connected to the linkage bracket.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple vertical arms are installed at the bottom of the positioning beam, and a support beam is installed at the bottom of the vertical arms. Cable connectors are installed on the surfaces of the positioning beam and the support beam, and the positioning carrier plate is installed on the surface of the support beam.

[0014] Furthermore, the guide structure includes a support rod installed on the side of the support beam, and an annular slide rail is installed on the top of the support rod, the annular slide rail being located directly below the base plate.

[0015] Guide sliders are installed at the front and rear of the base plate, and roller sets adapted to the annular slide rail are installed at the bottom of each guide slider.

[0016] Furthermore, a pair of connecting seats are hinged to the front and rear of the base plate, and multiple cylinders are installed on the side of the limiting beam. The output rod of the cylinder is connected to one side of the connecting seat through a bearing.

[0017] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0018] This invention features a rational structure. After the vehicle is transported to the vehicle-carrying rotating unit, the drive unit can rotate the rotating unit to a specified angle, aligning it with the parking space entrance. This allows the vehicle to be transferred into parking spaces at different locations within a circular parking garage. During the vehicle's rotation with the rotating unit, slippage caused by the inertial force of the rotation is effectively avoided, ensuring vehicle stability and reducing deviations during vehicle transfer. This ensures vehicle balance during the movement of the vehicle into and out of parking spaces, facilitating precise vehicle movement. Attached Figure Description

[0029] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example 1: Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 The illustrated vehicle-carrying rotating device for a lift-and-slide parking garage includes a hexagonal positioning beam 1. A vehicle-carrying rotating unit is positioned above the positioning beam 1. After a vehicle enters the entrance of the lift-and-slide parking garage, the driver exits the vehicle and operates the control equipment. A transport vehicle located in the parking space at the entrance can then move the vehicle onto the vehicle-carrying rotating device. A matching drive unit is positioned below the vehicle-carrying rotating unit to rotate it to a specified angle, aligning it with the parking space entrance.

[0031] Subsequently, the transport vehicle located in the parking space can slide onto the vehicle-carrying rotating device, lifting the vehicle from below and transferring it to the parking space to complete the parking process. It is worth noting that in this application, the angular spacing between the applicable parking spaces is 60 degrees, and six rows of parking spaces of different heights in the garage surround the outside of the rotating device.

[0032] The drive unit is located at the inner center of the positioning beam 1 and extends to the bottom of the positioning beam 1. The positioning beam 1 is equipped with a guide structure that is compatible with the vehicle rotation unit, which can share the pressure when the vehicle rotation unit rotates and maintain the accuracy of the vehicle rotation equipment when rotating.

[0033] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle rotation unit includes a base plate 2, an accommodating channel 21 for accommodating the sliding of the transport vehicle is installed on the top of the base plate 2, and a limiting beam 22 is installed at the edge of the base plate 2, with multiple reinforcing ribs 24 installed at the bottom of the limiting beam 22.

[0034] Multiple sets of anti-slip bars 23 are fixedly connected to the edge of the receiving channel 21, and these anti-slip bars 23 abut against the surface of the limiting beam 22. The anti-slip bars 23 increase the frictional resistance to the vehicle tires, preventing the vehicle from slipping.

[0035] like Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, each anti-skid bar 23 is connected to multiple limiting strips 4 via a pivot, and the upper ends of the limiting strips 4 are located inside the two adjacent anti-skid bars 23. In this application, there are two sets of limiting strips 4, and the top of the limiting strips 4 can swing to form a certain angle with the anti-skid bar 23, abutting against the outer side of the vehicle's rear tire. In actual production, there should be no fewer than two sets of limiting strips 4.

[0036] The lower end of the limiting strip 4 extends to the bottom of the anti-slip rod 23 and is connected to the linkage arm 5 through a pivot. The bottom end of the linkage arm 5 is connected to the guide seat 6 through a pivot. A matching bidirectional screw 7 is installed on the guide seat 6. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 7 are installed in contact with the surface of the limiting beam 22, and the bidirectional screw 7 is located in the interlayer between the base plate 2 and the accommodating channel 21.

[0037] The bidirectional screw 7 can be driven to rotate, and a pair of guide seats 6 on its surface can push the linkage arm 5 under the action of the thread. The linkage arm 5 squeezes the limiting strip 4 to rotate and abut against the tires of the vehicle. As the vehicle rotates synchronously with the base plate 2, it can effectively avoid the vehicle slippage caused by the inertial force generated by the rotation, ensuring the stability of the vehicle, reducing deviations during vehicle transfer, and ensuring the balance of the vehicle during the process of moving the vehicle into and out of the parking space, so that the vehicle can be moved accurately.

[0038] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a driven gear 71 is installed at the center of the bidirectional screw 7, and a driving gear 72 is meshed on the driven gear 71. The shafts of both the driven gear 71 and the driving gear 72 are mounted on the surface of the base plate 2 via a limiting seat 73. A servo motor 8, adapted to the driving gear 72, is installed on one side of the limiting seat 73. When the servo motor 8 is running, the driving gear 72 meshes with the driven gear 71 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotation of the bidirectional screw 7. The guide seat 6 can smoothly push the linkage arm 5 to slide, squeezing the limiting strip 4 to deflect, ensuring the stability of the limiting strip 4 after it contacts the vehicle tire.

[0039] Example 2: As Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the drive unit includes a linkage bracket 3 installed below the reinforcing rib 24. A positioning plate 31 is located below the linkage bracket 3. A reducer 32 and an industrial motor 33 adapted to the reducer 32 are installed below the positioning plate 31. The main shaft of the reducer 32 passes through the positioning plate 31 and is connected to the linkage bracket 3. During the operation of the drive unit, the industrial motor 33 operates, and the reducer 32 can adjust the load of the industrial motor 33 to drive the linkage bracket 3 to rotate. The base plate 2 can rotate synchronously with the rotation of the linkage bracket 3 until its end aligns with the designated parking space.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple vertical arms 11 are installed at the bottom of the positioning beam 1, and support beams 12 are installed at the bottom of the vertical arms 11. Cable connectors 15 are installed on the surfaces of the positioning beam 1 and the support beam 12 for connecting steel cables to control the lifting and lowering movement of the entire equipment and to connect with parking spaces of different heights. The positioning carrier plate 31 is installed on the surface of the support beam 12, which can distribute the pressure on the positioning carrier plate 31, improve its structural strength, and ensure the stability of the positioning carrier plate 31.

[0041] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the guide structure includes a support rod 13 mounted on the side of the support beam 12, with an annular slide rail 14 mounted on the top of the support rod 13, located directly below the base plate 2. Guide sliders 25 are mounted at the front and rear of the base plate 2, and roller sets 26 adapted to the annular slide rail 14 are mounted at the bottom of each guide slider 25. When the base plate 2 rotates under the operation of the drive unit, the roller sets 26 slide against the surface of the annular slide rail 14, ensuring the stability of the base plate 2 during rotation and limiting its movement to prevent swaying or displacement of the base plate 2 carrying the vehicle.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, a pair of connecting seats 9 are hinged to the front and rear of the base plate 2. Multiple cylinders 10 are installed on the side of the limiting beam 22. The output rod of the cylinder 10 is connected to one side of the connecting seat 9 through a bearing. When the base plate 2 rotates to a specified angle and aligns with the entrance of the parking space, the cylinder 10 can operate and output, driving the connecting seat 9 to rotate to a parallel state with the base plate 2, covering the gap between the parking space and the base plate 2, ensuring that the transport vehicle can smoothly drive into the parking space and complete the vehicle transfer.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
