[0001] This invention relates to the field of parking equipment technology, specifically a combined intelligent conveyor parking system. Background Technology

[0002] To address the urban parking difficulties caused by the increasing number of cars, multi-level parking garages and their supporting auxiliary parking equipment have been widely used.

[0003] Existing parking equipment, such as the vertical lifting parking system disclosed in patent number CN217269165U, requires the driver to drive the vehicle into the equipment, and then the equipment drives the vehicle to move up, down and sideways to complete the parking. However, for large parking garages, the method of having the driver drive the vehicle in and out results in low vehicle transportation efficiency, so it is necessary to propose an improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a combined intelligent conveyor parking device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of low parking garage dispatch efficiency caused by drivers driving vehicles themselves.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A combined intelligent conveyor parking system includes two parallel conveyor platforms, with a parking area between the two platforms. The parking area contains several equidistantly arranged parking units, and a distribution area is located between each parking unit. Several equidistantly arranged bidirectional conveyor belts are rotatably mounted in the center of each distribution area, with several pushing pads fixedly connected to the surface of each conveyor belt. Each parking unit has several parking spaces, and the two ends of each bidirectional conveyor belt correspond to parking spaces on two parking units. A hoisting mechanism for lifting vehicles is located above each distribution area. A transfer mechanism for feeding vehicles into the conveyor platforms is located on one side of each parking area.

[0007] As a further aspect of the present invention: the hoisting mechanism includes a hoisting frame, a hoisting slide rail fixedly installed at the bottom of the hoisting frame, a hanging plate slidably installed on the inner wall of the hoisting slide rail, a hanging rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the hanging plate, an adjusting component provided at the bottom of the hanging rod, the adjusting component including a mounting sleeve, a lifting cylinder fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the mounting sleeve, a directional motor fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder, a hoisting pallet fixedly connected to the output end of the directional motor, and a plurality of transfer rollers rotatably installed on the top of the hoisting pallet; the length of the hoisting frame is greater than the distance between the outer edges of the two conveying platforms, and support frames are fixedly connected to both ends of the hoisting frame, with the bottoms of both support frames fixedly connected to the ground.

[0008] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a shifting conveyor belt is rotatably connected to the top of the conveyor platform, a guide platform is fixedly connected to one end of the conveyor platform, and a plurality of guide rollers are rotatably connected to the top of the guide platform at an incline.

[0009] As a further aspect of the present invention: the transfer mechanism includes a transfer trough, a support frame is slidably installed on the inner wall of the transfer trough, a transverse conveyor belt is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the support frame, a plurality of support rollers are rotatably installed in the middle of the support frame, and a plurality of hydraulic cylinders are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the transfer trough, and the output ends of the plurality of hydraulic cylinders are all fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention sets up a distribution area between several parking units and uses several bidirectional conveyor belts in the distribution area to deliver vehicles to each parking space. This setting method does not require personnel to drive vehicles to park, thereby allowing for a smaller spacing between each parking unit, thus accommodating more parking equipment in a limited space and improving the utilization rate of garage space.

[0011] This invention uses hoisting equipment to lift and move vehicles from the conveyor platform into the distribution area. In conjunction with a bidirectional rotating conveyor belt, the vehicles are delivered into the parking spaces of the parking units on both sides. Compared with the method of manually driving into the parking space, this device can simultaneously lift and park vehicles using multiple hoisting mechanisms, resulting in higher overall parking efficiency.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the invention, a combined intelligent conveyor parking device includes two parallel conveyor platforms 1, with a parking area between the two conveyor platforms 1. A plurality of equidistantly arranged parking units 7 are arranged in the middle of the parking area, and a distribution area 5 is arranged between each parking unit 7. A plurality of equidistantly arranged bidirectional conveyor belts 6 are rotatably mounted in the middle of the distribution area 5, and a plurality of pushing pads are fixedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional conveyor belts 6. A plurality of parking spaces are provided on each parking unit 7, and the two ends of the bidirectional conveyor belts 6 are respectively positioned corresponding to the parking spaces on the two parking units 7. By setting up distribution areas 5 between the parking units 7 and utilizing the bidirectional conveyor belts 6 of the distribution areas 5 to deliver vehicles to each parking space, this arrangement eliminates the need for personnel to drive vehicles to park, allowing for smaller spacing between each parking unit 7. This enables more parking equipment to be accommodated in a limited space, improving the utilization rate of garage space.

[0019] Above each of the several distribution zones 5, a hoisting mechanism for lifting vehicles is installed. The hoisting mechanism includes a hoisting frame 9, with a hoisting slide rail 4 fixedly installed at the bottom. A mounting plate 10 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the hoisting slide rail 4. A mounting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 10. An adjusting component is provided at the bottom of the mounting rod. The adjusting component includes a mounting sleeve 11. A lifting cylinder is fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 11. A directional motor 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder. A hoisting pallet 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the directional motor 12. Several transfer rollers 14 are rotatably installed on the top of the hoisting pallet 13. The outer wall of the rotating roller 17 is fixedly connected with a soft pad to reduce the squeezing damage to the vehicle chassis. The length of the hoisting frame 9 is greater than the distance between the outer edges of the two conveyor platforms 1, and both ends of the hoisting frame 9 are fixedly connected with support frames 8, the bottoms of the two support frames 8 are fixedly connected to the ground. This ensures that the moving range of the hoisting pallet 13 can meet the needs of moving the vehicles on the conveyor platform 1 into various positions of the distribution area 5. By setting up a lifting cylinder and a directional motor 12, the position and attitude of the hoisting pallet 13 are adjusted, thereby adjusting the direction and attitude of the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle can stably enter the parking space without colliding with the parking unit 7.

[0020] By setting up hoisting equipment, vehicles on the conveyor platform 1 are hoisted and moved into the distribution area 5. With the help of bidirectional rotating conveyor belts 6, the vehicles are sent into the parking spaces of the parking units 7 on both sides. Compared with the method of manually driving into the parking space, this device can hoist and park vehicles simultaneously by multiple hoisting mechanisms, and the overall parking operation is more efficient.

[0021] The top of the conveyor platform 1 is rotatably connected to the shift conveyor belt 2, and one end of the conveyor platform 1 is fixedly connected to the guide platform 3. The top of the guide platform 3 is inclined and rotatably connected to several guide rollers. The shift conveyor belt 2 is responsible for the conveying and moving operation of the vehicle, so as to facilitate parking in different parking units 7 according to the selection. In specific implementation, the shift conveyor belt 2 can be divided into multiple independently controlled conveyor belts to achieve more flexible shifting and conveying of vehicles.

[0022] A transfer mechanism for sending vehicles onto the conveyor platform 1 is provided on one side of the parking area. The transfer mechanism includes a transfer trough, a support frame 15 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the transfer trough, a transverse conveyor belt 16 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the support frame 15, and several support rollers 17 are rotatably installed in the middle of the support frame 15. Several hydraulic cylinders 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the transfer trough, and the output ends of the hydraulic cylinders 18 are all fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 15. By setting up a moving mechanism, the vehicle to be parked is sent onto the transfer conveyor belt 2. By setting up hydraulic cylinders 18 to drive the support frame 15 and the transfer conveyor belt 2 as a whole to lift and lower, so that when the vehicle drives in, it only needs to drive onto the transverse conveyor belt 16, instead of driving into a specific parking space, making the parking operation more convenient.

[0023] When using this invention, the driver parks the vehicle on the transverse conveyor belt 16, the hydraulic cylinder 18 is activated to lift the vehicle, and the transverse conveyor belt 16 is activated to move the vehicle toward the conveyor platform 1, where it is received by the shift conveyor belt 2. Then the hydraulic cylinder 18 drives the support frame 15 and the transverse conveyor belt 16 to descend and reset, so as to facilitate the subsequent vehicles to drive in and park.

[0024] The vehicle is moved to one side of the distribution area 5 by the shift conveyor belt 2. The hoisting mechanism is then activated, and the hanging plate 10 and hanging rod are moved by the hoisting slide rail 4, which in turn moves the adjusting component and the hoisting pallet 13. The height and position of the hoisting pallet 13 are adjusted by the lifting cylinder and the directional motor 12, so that the hoisting pallet 13 moves to the underside of the vehicle. The vehicle is then lifted and moved to the parking space by the hoisting slide rail 4. The supporting roller 17 is then activated to move the vehicle and place it on the bidirectional conveyor belt 6. The rotation of the bidirectional conveyor belt 6 parks the vehicle in the parking space. Conveyor belts or conveying rollers can also be installed at each parking space in the parking unit 7 to assist in the transfer of vehicles to the parking space. Afterward, the hoisting mechanism will hoist other vehicles from the shift conveyor belt 2.

[0025] When the vehicle is retrieved, the hoisting mechanism drives the hoisting pallet 13 to move to the vicinity of the parking space where the vehicle is located. The directional motor 12 and the lifting starter drive the hoisting pallet 13 to move it under the vehicle. Then, the supporting roller 17 rotates to move the vehicle onto the hoisting pallet 13. The hoisting guide rail then drives the vehicle back onto the transfer conveyor belt 2, where it is received and sent out by the guide table 3.

[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
