Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automated parking system technology, specifically relating to a tower-type automated parking system. Background Technology

[0002] To alleviate the "parking difficulty" problem in modern cities, multi-level parking garages based on double or multiple parking spaces have emerged. These garages increase the parking capacity of the same area by stacking cars by setting up double or multiple parking platforms, without changing the footprint.

[0003] Currently, existing tower-style automated parking systems typically utilize lifting and translation systems to transfer parked cars, facilitating parking and retrieval across multiple parking levels. Regarding the translation system:

[0004] For example, patent CN105781187B discloses a clutch-type tracked transmission mechanism, which mainly achieves horizontal vehicle transfer through the reciprocating transmission of the main belt and the auxiliary belt. However, there is a certain gap when the main belt and the auxiliary belt are horizontally connected. Therefore, during vehicle transfer, there is a high possibility that the wheels may get stuck in this gap, preventing smooth and stable transfer. This also increases the processing and installation difficulty of the overall transmission mechanism. In addition, the auxiliary belt is driven by the meshing of gears A7 and B8. This means that the auxiliary belt itself has neither a drive structure nor a limit structure. In this case, when the vehicle is transferred onto the auxiliary belt and gears A7 and B8 are separated, since the auxiliary belt itself cannot be limited, the vehicle cannot be limited on the auxiliary belt either. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the auxiliary belt will spin and slip, causing the vehicle to fall. Furthermore, when the transmission mechanism achieves bidirectional transmission, two sets of drive structures are required, which further increases the processing cost of the overall transmission mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a tower-type multi-level parking garage.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A tower-type automated parking garage includes a stacking mechanism and shelves located on both sides of the stacking mechanism. The stacking mechanism includes a vehicle platform that is lifted and lowered by a chain elevator. The shelves have multiple layers of parking platforms that are stacked and distributed inside.

[0008] The vehicle platform includes a base connected to the chain of the chain lift and a transfer platform that is laterally slidably embedded in the top of the base;

[0009] Both the parking platform and the transfer platform are provided with wheel limiting areas, and a first swing mechanism and a second swing mechanism are respectively provided in the wheel limiting areas of the transfer platform and the parking platform. The vehicle can move laterally and intermittently between the transfer platform and the parking platform by the synchronous swing of the first swing mechanism and the second swing mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the first swing mechanism includes a plurality of equidistant first swing teeth, and a first support tooth plate that is staggered with the first swing teeth is also provided in the wheel limiting area on the transfer platform.

[0011] Preferably, the second swing mechanism includes a plurality of equidistantly distributed second swing teeth, and a second support teeth that are staggered with the second swing teeth are also provided in the wheel limiting area on the parking platform.

[0012] Preferably, both the first support tooth plate and the second support tooth plate have a lower groove at their top for defining the wheel.

[0013] Preferably, when the first support toothed plate and the second support toothed plate are aligned by the lateral sliding of the transfer table, the first swing toothed plate can be magnetically fixed to the second swing toothed plate.

[0014] Preferably, electromagnetic connectors are provided at both ends of the first oscillating toothed plate, and a permanent magnet connector is provided at one end of the second oscillating toothed plate, and the electromagnetic connectors and the permanent magnet connectors are magnetically attracted and fixed together.

[0015] Preferably, the electromagnetic connector and the permanent magnet connector are configured as a plug-in structure consisting of a slot and a snap-fit.

[0016] Preferably, a mounting groove is provided through the first support tooth plate, and the first swing mechanism further includes two swing rods rotatably mounted in the mounting groove. Two limiting rods are fixed horizontally side by side at the bottom of the first swing tooth plate, and the two limiting rods are rotatably connected to the free ends of the two swing rods respectively.

[0017] Preferably, the second swing mechanism further includes a telescopic rod that slides laterally between two adjacent second support tooth plates, and the top end of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the second swing tooth plate.

[0018] Preferably, two horizontal plates are symmetrically fixed in the mounting groove, and a driven gear coaxially fixed to the swing arm and a driving gear meshing between the two horizontal plates are provided. The first swing mechanism also includes a drive shaft coaxially fixed to the driving gear.

[0019] Preferably, the telescopic rod includes an outer sleeve that is laterally slidably connected to the second support toothed plate and an inner rod that is longitudinally slidably connected to the outer sleeve, and a spring is connected between the outer sleeve and the inner rod.

[0020] Preferably, the transfer platform is slidably connected to the vehicle platform via an electric linear slide rail mechanism.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0022] (1) The present invention uses two sets of interleaved comb tooth structures to support and transfer the vehicle. Specifically, one set of comb tooth structures is set to an eccentric swing state, so that the vehicle can stably complete the lateral intermittent movement. The overall transfer structure is simple and runs smoothly. Furthermore, the transfer platform and parking platform are easy to connect and install.

[0023] (2) The design of the comb-type structure can effectively avoid gaps when the transfer platform and the parking platform are horizontally connected, and can also ensure the stability of the vehicle support and prevent the vehicle from slipping and falling.

[0024] (3) By using plug-in magnetic attraction, the first swing tooth plate and the second swing tooth plate in the transfer table and the parking table are connected, so that the transfer table and the parking table can complete intermittent feeding synchronously.

[0025] (4) Based on the structure of active gear, driven gear, rocker arm, etc., the first swing tooth plate in the transfer table is driven to swing. Depending on the rotation direction of the active gear, it can flexibly realize the storage / retrieval of vehicles or the horizontal bidirectional transfer of vehicles. The whole only needs to set up one set of drive structure, with low processing cost and low difficulty.

[0026] (5) The second swing tooth plate is limited in the longitudinal direction by using a telescopic rod with a spring, so that the second swing tooth plate can be lower than the top of the second support tooth plate when it is not driven, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the vehicle when parked on the second support tooth plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] 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.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the tower-type automated parking system provided by this invention mainly includes a stacking mechanism and shelves located on both sides of the stacking mechanism. The stacking mechanism includes a vehicle platform 100 driven to rise and fall by a chain lift (using a publicly disclosed chain lift structure). Multiple layers of parking platforms 200 are fixedly arranged inside the shelves. Specifically, after installation, the tower-type automated parking system provided by this invention forms a driving area i and parking areas ii located on both sides of the driving area i. The vehicle platform 100 rises and falls longitudinally above the driving area i, while the shelves are fixed within the parking area ii.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle carrier 100 includes a base 101 connected to the chain of a chain lift and a transfer platform 102 that is laterally slidably embedded in the top of the base 101. Specifically, guide ramps are provided at both ends of the base 101 to facilitate the vehicle's movement along the guide ramps at the ends of the base 101 onto the transfer platform 102 when the entire vehicle carrier 100 is lowered to the bottom surface of the driving area i.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5It can be seen that both the parking platform 200 and the transfer platform 102 are provided with wheel limiting areas, as shown in the figure of this invention, specifically divided into a front wheel limiting area and a rear wheel limiting area, and the vehicle is... Figure 3 It is parked on the vehicle platform 100 in the state shown.

[0041] The wheel limiting area on the transfer table 102 is provided with staggered first support toothed plates 103 and first swing toothed plates 104, and the first swing toothed plates 104 are part of the first swing mechanism on the transfer table 102.

[0042] The wheel limiting area on the parking platform 200 is provided with a second support tooth plate 201 and a second swing tooth plate 202 that are staggered, and the second swing tooth plate 202 is part of the second swing mechanism on the parking platform 200.

[0043] All the aforementioned support tooth plates are fixedly installed, while the swing tooth plate is movable. Furthermore, to prevent slippage and falling when the vehicle is parked, it is now... Figure 3 As shown, a recessed groove for defining the wheel is provided on the top of the overall support toothed plate. In addition, each swing toothed plate is designed to swing eccentrically, and when the transfer table 102 slides laterally under the drive of the electric linear slide rail mechanism (using an existing linear sliding drive structure, such as a linear motor, motor screw, etc.) to align the first support toothed plate 103 with the second support toothed plate 201, the first swing toothed plate 104 can be magnetically fixed to the second swing toothed plate 202.

[0044] like Figure 8 The principle shown:

[0045] abcd (parking)

[0046] Figure a shows the initial state after the transfer platform 102 is connected to the right parking platform 200. At this time, the first support tooth plate 103 and the second support tooth plate 201 are aligned, the first swing tooth plate 104 and the second swing tooth plate 202 are magnetically fixed, and both the first swing tooth plate 104 and the second swing tooth plate 202 are swinged to their lowest position. In this state, the vehicle is parked on the transfer platform 102 and the wheels are supported by the first support tooth plate 103.

[0047] Figure b shows that the first swing tooth plate 104 and the second swing tooth plate 202 swing to the upper left in linkage. The swing angle of ab is 90°, and after swinging, the top of each swing tooth plate is flush with the top of each support tooth plate. At this time, the bottom of the first swing tooth plate 104 contacts the wheel.

[0048] Figure c shows that the first swing tooth plate 104 and the second swing tooth plate 202 swing to the upper right in linkage. The swing angle is 90°. After swinging, the top of each swing tooth plate is higher than the top of each supporting tooth plate. During this process, the first swing tooth plate 104 is used to lift the whole vehicle and make the vehicle move to the right a certain distance.

[0049] Figure d shows that the first swing tooth plate 104 and the second swing tooth plate 202 swing downward to the right in linkage. The swing angle is 90°. After swinging, the top of each swing tooth plate is aligned with the top of each support tooth plate. During this process, the vehicle (wheel) is still supported on the first swing tooth plate 104. As the first swing tooth plate 104 swings to the right, the vehicle continues to move to the right a certain distance until the vehicle (wheel) is supported on the top of the first support tooth plate 103 and / or the second support tooth plate 201 again.

[0050] The first swing toothed plate 104 and the second swing toothed plate 202 continue to swing downwards and to the left in linkage, thus restoring the state shown in Figure d to the state shown in Figure a. Then, the swing sequence abcd is repeated, achieving intermittent rightward movement of the vehicle between the transfer platform 102 and the right-side parking platform 200, thereby stably transferring the vehicle to the right-side parking platform 200 and completing the parking process. Based on this, when retrieving the vehicle from the right-side parking platform 200, the vehicle is driven to intermittently move to the left according to the swing sequence adcb.

[0051] In addition, when the transfer platform 102 is driven by the electric linear slide rail mechanism and docks with the left parking platform 200 (not shown in the figure), the vehicle can be stored / retrieved to the left parking platform 200 based on the similar swing drive described above.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] The basic structure of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1 above, with the following specific improvements:

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, electromagnetic connectors 105 are provided at both ends of the first swing tooth plate 104.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, a permanent magnet connector 203 is provided at one end of the second swing tooth plate 202, and the electromagnetic connector 105 is magnetically attracted and fixed to the permanent magnet connector 203.

[0056] by Figure 8 Taking the docking of the transfer platform 102 and the parking platform 200 on the right as an example, after the docking is completed, the electromagnetic connector 105 and the permanent magnet connector 203 cooperate. At this time, the electromagnetic connector 105 is energized so that the electromagnetic connector 105 and the permanent magnet connector 203 magnetically attract each other, thereby ensuring that the first swing tooth plate 104 and the second swing tooth plate 202 can swing in conjunction.

[0057] Furthermore, the electromagnetic connector 105 is configured as follows: Figure 4 The slot-type structure shown has the permanent magnet connector 203 configured as follows: Figure 6 The plug-in structure shown in the diagram, after docking, the electromagnetic connector 105 and the permanent magnet connector 203 also form a plug-in connection that inserts into the slot, thereby ensuring the stability of the linkage between the first swing tooth plate 104 and the second swing tooth plate 202.

[0058] Furthermore, if the electromagnetic connector 105 is configured as a snap-fit ​​structure (not shown in the figure) and the permanent magnet connector 203 is configured as a slot structure (not shown in the figure), then after docking, the electromagnetic connector 105 and the permanent magnet connector 203 will also form a snap-fit ​​connection inserted into the slot, thereby ensuring the stability of the linkage between the first swing tooth plate 104 and the second swing tooth plate 202.

[0059] Example 3

[0060] The basic structure of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 2 above, with the following specific improvements:

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, a mounting groove is formed through the first support toothed plate 103, and two horizontal plates are symmetrically fixed in the mounting groove. A rotatable driving gear 109 and driven gears 108 meshing on both sides of the driving gear 109 are provided between the two horizontal plates. Two swing rods 106 are provided on the outer side of the two horizontal plates and are coaxially fixed to the two driven gears 108 respectively. A drive shaft 110 coaxially fixed to the driving gear 109 is rotatably passed through the two horizontal plates, and the drive shaft 110 is driven by a motor (not shown in the figure) installed in the transfer table 102. Two limiting rods 107 are fixed horizontally side by side at the bottom of the first swing toothed plate 104, and the two limiting rods 107 are rotatably connected to the free ends of the two swing rods 106 respectively.

[0062] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a telescopic rod 204 is provided between each pair of adjacent second support tooth plates 201. The telescopic rod 204 includes an outer sleeve 205 that is laterally slidably connected to the second support tooth plate 201 and an inner rod 206 that is longitudinally slidably connected to the outer sleeve 205. The top end of the inner rod 206 is fixedly connected to the second swing tooth plate 202, and a spring 207 is connected between the outer sleeve 205 and the inner rod 206.

[0063] The aforementioned motor (not shown in the figure), drive shaft 110, drive gear 109, driven gear 108, rocker arm 106, and limit rod 107 together constitute the specific drive structure for driving the first swinging tooth plate 104 to swing eccentrically in the first swinging mechanism. Multiple drive gears 109 are coaxially fixed on one drive shaft 110, meaning that one motor can drive multiple first swinging tooth plates 104 to swing synchronously. The driven gears 108, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the drive gear 109, are used to drive two rocker arms 106 to swing synchronously, thereby ensuring that the first swinging tooth plate 104 always remains in a horizontal state, thus achieving stable support for the vehicle (wheels).

[0064] The aforementioned telescopic rod 204 constitutes a specific limiting structure for the eccentric swing of the second swing toothed plate 202 in the second swing mechanism. When the second swing toothed plate 202 swings upward with the first swing toothed plate 104, the telescopic rod 204 extends and stretches the spring 207. Conversely, when the second swing toothed plate 202 swings downward with the first swing toothed plate 104, the spring 207 rebounds and shortens the telescopic rod 204. Specifically... Figure 8 In the initial state shown in Figure a, the spring 207 is in its shortest state, thereby limiting the second swing tooth plate 202 to be lower than the top of the second support tooth plate 201, preventing the second swing tooth plate 202 from shaking, and effectively ensuring the stability of the vehicle when parked on the second support tooth plate 201.

[0065] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
