Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a multi-level parking garage, and more particularly to a method for assembling a multi-level parking garage. Background Technology

[0002] Existing automated parking systems consist of a parking frame, lateral movement combs, lifting combs, and multiple drive mechanisms. The parking frame is composed of multiple main support columns, main support beams, connecting beams, and cross beams. The current assembly method involves transporting these steel columns and beams to the installation site, where they are then assembled piece by piece to form the parking frame. The lateral movement combs, lifting combs, and various drive mechanisms are then installed onto the parking frame. However, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive because automated parking systems are large and have many components such as steel columns and beams. Workers must assemble them one by one at height during installation. Furthermore, the dispersed nature of the components during transport can cause confusion, making loading and unloading difficult and requiring sorting. Therefore, the current method of transporting and assembling automated parking systems is inconvenient, time-consuming, and detrimental to cost reduction. Additionally, current transportation methods typically involve using trailers to transport containers. However, when the various components of a multi-level parking garage are placed inside a shipping container, the components are not neatly arranged and take up a lot of space in the container. Therefore, a single container is often insufficient to pack all the components of a multi-level parking garage. Using multiple containers for multiple shipments will significantly increase transportation costs and greatly reduce market competitiveness. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an assembly method for a three-dimensional parking garage that is convenient and quick to transport and assemble, and effectively reduces costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for assembling a multi-level parking garage, comprising the following steps:

[0005] In the production workshop, the following components are fabricated: a garage side frame, a connecting frame for connecting the two garage side frames on the left and right sides, a transverse comb mechanism for connecting the two garage side frames in the front and rear directions, a connecting beam for connecting the two garage side frames in the front and rear directions, and a lifting comb mechanism for raising and lowering vehicles. The garage side frame, connecting frame, transverse comb mechanism, and connecting beam are placed inside a container. The container is transported to the installation site using a trailer. Two of the garage side frames are arranged left and right at intervals and vertically fixed to the installation site. On the foundation of the installation site; arrange the other two garage side frames symmetrically with the first two garage side frames in a front-to-back manner, and fix them vertically on the foundation of the installation site; connect the connecting frame between the two garage side frames arranged on the left and right at intervals to form a lift shaft; connect the connecting beams vertically between the two garage side frames arranged on the front and rear at intervals to form a multi-level parking space that can accommodate vehicles; assemble the transverse comb mechanism on the lower side of each parking space; assemble the lifting comb mechanism inside the lift shaft.

[0006] Compared to existing technologies, this invention prefabricates the garage side frames, connecting frames, lateral comb mechanisms, connecting beams, and lifting comb mechanisms—components of the entire automated parking system—in a production workshop. This modular approach allows the various frames and mechanisms to be placed within a shipping container, enabling the transport of all components to the installation site in a single shipment. The modules can be loaded and unloaded using a crane in one go, eliminating the need for manual handling and preventing the components from becoming scattered and disorganized during transport. This makes transportation extremely simple and convenient. Furthermore, during assembly, the entire module can be directly assembled, significantly reducing on-site construction steps and shortening construction time, thereby greatly reducing costs.

[0007] Preferably, the height of the garage side frame is between 10m and 13m; the width of the garage side frame is between 2.3m and 2.7m; when the garage side frame is placed inside the container, the height of the garage side frame extends along the length of the container; the width of the garage side frame extends along the height of the container. Since a standard container is 13 meters long, 2.7 meters high, and 2.5 meters wide, by setting the height of the garage side frame to less than 13m and the width to less than 2.7m, the entire garage side frame can be laid flat inside the container, effectively utilizing the length and height space of the container. Furthermore, by placing multiple garage side frames along the width of the container, along with connecting frames, a transverse comb mechanism, connecting beams, and a lifting comb mechanism, the width space of the container is effectively utilized. Therefore, all components of the automated parking system can be transported in one container, greatly reducing the number of transport trips and lowering transportation costs.

[0008] Preferably, the first step also includes fabricating a top beam; and connecting the top beam between the two garage side frames after they are spaced apart on the left and right.

[0009] Preferably, the garage side frame includes columns, crossbeams, inclined suspension beams, and external support columns. The crossbeams are arranged along the extension direction of the columns and one end is fixed to the column. One end of the inclined suspension beam is connected to the column, and the other end is connected to the other end of the crossbeam. The external support columns are vertically arranged and fixed to the other end of the crossbeam.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting frame includes an upper beam, a lower beam, and a cross bracket, with the two ends of the upper beam and the lower beam respectively fixed between the two garage side frames; the cross bracket is disposed between the upper beam and the lower beam.

[0011] Preferably, the lateral movement comb mechanism includes lateral movement combs and a lateral movement drive mechanism. The lateral movement combs are supported on the tracks of each parking space in the garage side frame, and the lateral movement drive mechanism is disposed on the lateral movement combs to drive the lateral movement combs to move between the lift shaft and the parking space.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting comb mechanism includes lifting comb teeth and a lifting drive mechanism, wherein the lifting drive mechanism is disposed at the top of the garage side frame to drive the lifting comb teeth to move within the lifting shaft.

[0013] Preferably, when the multi-level parking garage has 5 floors and a total of 10 parking spaces, the number of garage side frames is four, the number of connecting frames is six, the number of transverse comb mechanisms is ten, the number of connecting beams is ten, and the number of lifting comb mechanisms is one.

[0014] Preferably, when the multi-level parking garage has 10 floors and a total of 20 parking spaces, the number of garage side frames is eight, the number of connecting frames is twelve, the number of transverse comb teeth mechanisms is twenty, the number of connecting beams is twenty, and the number of lifting comb teeth mechanisms is one.

[0015] Preferably, the first step also includes fabricating longitudinal beams; and during assembly, after the longitudinal beams are arranged in the front and rear directions of the garage side frames, they are connected between the two garage side frames. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To illustrate the technical content, structural features, and effects of the present invention in detail, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the three-dimensional parking garage 100 of the present invention includes a garage side frame 1, a connecting frame 2, a transverse comb mechanism 3, a connecting beam 4, a lifting comb mechanism 5, a top crossbeam 6, and a longitudinal beam 7. There are four garage side frames 1, with two located at the front, spaced slightly to the left and right, the gap being slightly larger than the width of a car. The other two garage side frames 1 are located behind the first two, symmetrically arranged with them; the front-to-rear gap is slightly larger than the length of a car. The setting standards for the aforementioned left-to-right gap and front-to-rear gap should be based on the dimensions of the largest vehicles currently on the market. The connecting frame 2 connects the two garage side frames 1 on the left and right sides, and is arranged in layers. The connecting beam 4 connects the outer sides of the two garage side frames 1 in the front and rear directions. The longitudinal beam 7 connects the inner sides of the two garage side frames 1 in the front and rear directions, and is arranged in layers. The connecting beam 4 and the longitudinal beam 7 form multiple layers. On each layer, the connecting beam 4, the longitudinal beam 7, and the front and rear garage side frames 1 form a parking space, with two parking spaces on each layer (left and right). A lift shaft is formed between the two parking spaces. The transverse comb mechanism 3 is located between the two garage side frames 1 in the front and rear directions, i.e., below each parking space 101. The lifting comb mechanism 5 is used to lift the vehicle and is located within the lift shaft 102. The top crossbeam 6 connects to the top of the space between the two garage side frames 1.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The garage side frame 1 includes columns 11, crossbeams 12, inclined suspension beams 13, and external support columns 14. The columns 11 serve as the main load-bearing columns, and the crossbeams 12 serve as the main load-bearing beams. The crossbeams 12 are arranged along the extension direction of the columns 11 and are fixed at one end to the columns 11. One end of the inclined suspension beams 13 is connected to the columns 11, and the other end is connected to the other end of the crossbeams 12. The external support columns 14 are vertically arranged and fixed to the other end of the crossbeams 12. The inclined suspension beams 13, external support columns 14, and connecting beams 4 serve as auxiliary load-bearing components. They can be made of smaller steel sheets or square tubing, which can reduce the weight of the entire multi-level garage 100, save materials, and facilitate transportation.

[0027] For example Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the connecting frame 2 includes an upper beam 21, a lower beam 22, and a cross bracket 23. The two ends of the upper beam 21 and the lower beam 22 are respectively fixed between the two garage side frames 1; the cross bracket 23 is disposed between the upper beam 21 and the lower beam 22. This not only makes the connection between the two garage side frames 1 more stable and firm, but also saves materials, reduces the weight of the entire multi-level parking garage 100, and improves the convenience of transportation.

[0028] For example Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the lateral movement comb mechanism 3 includes lateral movement comb teeth 31 and a lateral movement drive mechanism 32. The lateral movement comb teeth 31 are supported on the rails of each parking space 101 of the garage side frame 1. The lateral movement drive mechanism 32 is disposed on the lateral movement comb teeth 31 to drive the lateral movement comb teeth 31 to move between the lift shaft 102 and the parking space 101. The lateral movement drive mechanism 32 includes a drive motor, a drive chain, a drive sprocket, a driven sprocket, and several rollers. The rollers are disposed at the front and rear ends of the lateral movement comb teeth 31 and are rolled on the guide rails of the garage side frame 1 located in each parking space 101. The drive motor is disposed on the lateral movement comb teeth 31 and its output end is connected to the drive sprocket. The driven sprockets are coaxially connected to the rollers respectively. The drive chain surrounds the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket to transmit the power of the drive motor to the rollers.

[0029] Please see again Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The lifting comb mechanism 5 includes lifting comb teeth 51 and a lifting drive mechanism 52. The lifting comb teeth 51 are vertically and flexibly disposed within the lifting shaft 102. Specifically, a vertical guide rail 111 is provided on the column 11, and the lifting comb teeth 51 move up and down along the guide rail 111. The lifting drive mechanism 52 is disposed at the top of the garage side frame 1 and drives the lifting comb teeth 51 to move within the lifting shaft 102 by means of a drive chain.

[0030] Combination Figure 7As shown, the height of the garage side frame 1 ranges from 10 meters to 13 meters; the width of the garage side frame 1 ranges from 2.3 meters to 2.7 meters; when the garage side frame 1 is placed inside the container 200, the height of the garage side frame 1 extends along the length of the container 200; the width of the garage side frame 1 extends along the height of the container 200. In this embodiment, the height of the garage side frame 1 is 12 meters, and the width of the garage side frame 1 is 2.5 meters. Since a standard container 200 is 13 meters long, 2.7 meters high, and 2.5 meters wide, by setting the height of the garage side frame 1 to less than 13 meters and the width of the garage side frame 1 to less than 2.7 meters, the garage side frame 1 can be laid flat inside the container 200. Similarly, the connecting frame 2, the transverse comb mechanism 3, and the lifting comb mechanism 5 can be laid flat and arranged inside the container 200 along its length, effectively utilizing the length and height space of the container 200. Furthermore, by placing multiple garage side frames 1 along the width direction of the container 200, as well as connecting frames 2, transverse comb mechanism 3, connecting beam 4 and lifting comb mechanism 5, the width space of the container 200 is effectively utilized. Therefore, all components of the multi-level parking garage 100 can be transported at once using a single container 200, greatly reducing the number of transportation trips and lowering transportation costs.

[0031] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the multi-level parking garage 100 has 5 floors and a total of 10 parking spaces, the number of garage side frames 1 is four, the number of connecting frames 2 is six, the number of transverse comb mechanisms 3 is ten, the number of connecting beams 4 is ten, and the number of lifting comb mechanisms 5 is one. When the multi-level parking garage 100 has 10 floors and a total of 20 parking spaces, the number of garage side frames 1 is eight, the number of connecting frames 2 is twelve, the number of transverse comb mechanisms 3 is twenty, the number of connecting beams 4 is twenty, and the number of lifting comb mechanisms 5 is one. The multi-level parking garage 100 disclosed in this embodiment has 5 floors and a total of 10 parking spaces.

[0032] Please combine Figure 8 The assembly method of the three-dimensional parking garage 100 of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0033] S1, manufacture the garage side frame 1, connecting frame 2, transverse comb mechanism 3, connecting beam 4, lifting comb mechanism 5, top crossbeam 6 and longitudinal beam 7 in the production workshop.

[0034] S2, the garage side frame 1, connecting frame 2, transverse comb mechanism 3, connecting beam 4, lifting comb mechanism 5, top crossbeam 6 and longitudinal beam 7 are placed in a container 200; the container 200 is transported to the installation site using a trailer;

[0035] S3, arrange two of the garage side frames 1 on the left and right at intervals and fix them vertically on the foundation of the installation site; arrange the other two garage side frames 1 symmetrically with the first two garage side frames 1 in front and back, and fix them vertically on the foundation of the installation site;

[0036] S4, connect the top crossbeam 6 between the tops of the left and right garage side frames 1; connect the longitudinal beam 7 between the front and rear garage side frames 1;

[0037] S5, connect the connecting frame 2 between the left and right garage side frames 1;

[0038] S6, the connecting beams 4 are arranged vertically and connected between the front and rear garage side frames 1 to form a multi-level parking space 101 that can accommodate vehicles;

[0039] S7, the transverse comb mechanism 3 is assembled on the lower side of each parking space 101; specifically, the transverse comb 31 is first placed on the guide rail of the garage side frame 1, and then the chain is installed between the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket.

[0040] S8, the lifting comb mechanism 5 is assembled into the lifting shaft 102. Specifically, the lifting comb 51 is first placed on the guide rail of the lifting shaft 102 and the lifting drive mechanism 52 is installed on the crossbeam 12 at the top of the lifting shaft 102. Then, the chain is installed between the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket of the lifting drive mechanism 52.

[0041] Compared with existing technologies, this invention prefabricates the garage side frame 1, connecting frame 2, lateral comb mechanism 3, connecting beam 4, and lifting comb mechanism 5, which are used to assemble the entire automated parking system 100, in the production workshop. This modularizes the various frames and mechanisms, which are then placed in a container 200. The container 200 can transport all components of the automated parking system 100 to the installation site in one go. The modules can be loaded and unloaded using a crane in one operation, eliminating the need for manual handling by workers and preventing the components from being scattered and disorganized during transport. This makes transportation extremely simple and convenient. Furthermore, during assembly, the entire module can be directly assembled together, greatly reducing the construction steps on the installation site, shortening construction time, and thus significantly reducing costs.

[0042] The connections between the various parts involved in the three-dimensional parking garage 100 of this invention can be made by screws, bolts, or welding, all of which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] The above-disclosed examples are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
