Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of underground parking garage equipment, and in particular to parking garage waterproof gates. Background Technology

[0002] A garage door is a device used to prevent water from entering a garage. Garage doors play a vital role in protecting property within the garage, reducing losses and repair costs, protecting vehicles, and improving quality of life.

[0003] In existing technologies, there are two ways to reduce the entry of rainwater into underground parking garages during rainfall. One way is to manually pile up waterproof sandbags at the garage entrance, and the other way is to manually place waterproof panels or install automatically rising waterproof panels to reduce the entry of rainwater into the underground parking garage.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the invention found that both piling up waterproof sandbags and installing waterproof boards would affect vehicles' normal entry into the garage when rainfall is not heavy. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address some or all of the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a garage waterproof gate.

[0006] The technical solution for a garage waterproof gate provided in this application is as follows:

[0007] A garage waterproof gate includes a base installed at the garage entrance, with a side plate fixedly installed on each side of the upper surface of the base; a water storage chamber located at the garage exit end of the base, with a filter screen covering the top of the water storage chamber; a level chamber located on one of the side plates and communicating with the interior of the water storage chamber, with a water level probe installed in the level chamber capable of detecting the water level and outputting a water level signal; a main baffle located above the base and hinged between the two side plates; a side baffle, one end of which is hinged to the main baffle, and the other end of which is slidably connected between the two side plates; a linear actuator hinged to the base and located below the main baffle, with the drive shaft of the linear actuator hinged to the lower surface of the main baffle; and a control module for receiving the water level signal output by the water level probe and controlling the linear actuator to push the main baffle up.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when water accumulates outside the garage, the water can pass through the filter screen and enter the water storage chamber. Then, the water level probe installed in the liquid level chamber detects the water level of the water entering the storage chamber and controls the linear actuator to start based on the detected water level signal. The drive rod of the linear actuator drives the main baffle to rotate, thereby raising the main baffle and reducing the probability of water backflowing into the garage from the garage entrance. During the raising process of the main baffle, the side baffles can also rotate and rise, and the raised side baffles can facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles in the garage.

[0009] The installation of water level sensors, main baffles, and side baffles can automatically control the raising of the main baffles and side baffles when there is water accumulation outside the garage. On the one hand, this reduces the probability of water from outside the garage entering the garage, and on the other hand, it ensures that vehicles can enter and exit the garage normally when the water accumulation outside the garage is not severe.

[0010] Optionally, each of the side plates is provided with a first sliding groove, and a spring pin that can slide along the first sliding groove is installed on the side plate. The first sliding groove is provided with a guide groove for the spring pin to slide out on the side near the main baffle. A locking mechanism is provided between the main baffle and the side baffle to fix the side baffle after it pops out.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, as the water accumulation increases, the degree to which the main baffle is raised gradually increases, and the degree to which the side baffle is raised also gradually increases with the degree to which the main baffle is raised. When the water accumulation outside the garage reaches a certain level, and both the main baffle and the side baffle are in a nearly vertical state, on the one hand, there is too much water accumulation outside, which places higher demands on the waterproofing capacity of the waterproof gate; on the other hand, the angle between the main baffle and the side baffle is small, which is not conducive to vehicles entering and exiting the garage. At this time, the spring pin pops out from the guide groove, and the angle between the side baffle and the main baffle becomes a flat angle and is locked under the locking mechanism, further reducing the probability of water accumulation outside the garage entering the garage.

[0012] Optionally, the locking mechanism includes: a first hinge rod hinged to the lower surface of the side baffle; a second hinge rod slidably connected to the first hinge rod; a third hinge rod hinged to the lower surface of the main baffle; a fourth hinge rod slidably connected to the third hinge rod and hinged to the second hinge rod; a first slide groove fixedly connected to the side wall of the second hinge rod, a first slide plate slidably connected inside the second slide groove, and a first top block fixedly connected to the end of the first slide plate away from the first hinge rod; a first locking rod hinged to the first hinge rod and abutting against the upper surface of the first slide plate, a first locking groove for the first hinge rod to enter is provided on the second slide groove, and a torsion spring is provided at the hinge point of the first locking rod and the first hinge rod to drive the first locking rod into the first locking groove; wherein, the first hinge rod can move towards the second hinge rod when the linear actuator pushes the main baffle, and can move away from the second hinge rod when the spring pin disengages from the guide groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of the main baffle being raised, the first hinge rod moves towards the second hinge rod. As the first hinge rod moves towards the second hinge rod, it drives the first locking rod to move towards the first top block. When the spring pin pops out of the guide slot and the angle between the side baffle and the main baffle is flat, the first hinge rod moves away from the second hinge rod. When it moves to the maximum position, the first locking rod rotates into the first locking slot under the action of the torsion spring, thereby locking the rotation of the side baffle relative to the main baffle.

[0014] Optionally, a plurality of flexible protrusions are fixedly connected to the side wall of the first slide plate, and the second slide groove is provided with a groove for the flexible protrusions to engage.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible protrusions and grooves can limit the probability of sliding between the first sliding plate and the second sliding groove when the first hinge rod moves away from the second hinge rod.

[0016] Optionally, multiple linear drivers are provided.

[0017] Optionally, anti-slip strips are provided on both the main baffle and the side baffle.

[0018] Optionally, a rack is mounted on the upper surface of the base, and a gear that can mesh with the rack is rotatably connected to the side of the side baffle away from the main baffle.

[0019] Optionally, the linear actuator is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electromagnetic actuator.

[0020] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. The installation of water level probes, main baffles, and side baffles can automatically control the raising of the main baffles and side baffles when there is water accumulation outside the garage. On the one hand, this can reduce the probability of water accumulation outside the garage entering the garage. On the other hand, it can ensure that vehicles can enter and exit the garage normally when the water accumulation outside the garage is not severe.

[0022] 2. As the water level increases, the main baffle gradually rises higher, and the side baffle also rises higher. When the water level outside the garage reaches a certain level, both the main baffle and the side baffle are in a nearly vertical state. At this point, on the one hand, the excessive water level outside places higher demands on the waterproofing capacity of the gate; on the other hand, the angle between the main baffle and the side baffle is small, which is not conducive to vehicles entering and exiting the garage. At this point, the spring pin pops out from the guide slot, and the angle between the side baffle and the main baffle becomes a flat angle and is locked by the locking mechanism, further reducing the probability of water from outside the garage entering the garage.

[0023] 3. During the lifting of the main baffle, the first hinge rod moves towards the second hinge rod. As the first hinge rod moves towards the second hinge rod, it drives the first locking rod to move towards the first top block. When the spring pin pops out of the guide slot and the angle between the side baffle and the main baffle is flat, the first hinge rod moves away from the second hinge rod. When it reaches the maximum position, the first locking rod rotates into the first locking groove under the action of the torsion spring, thereby locking the rotation of the side baffle relative to the main baffle.

[0024] In addition, the garage waterproof gate of the present invention has the advantages of simple structure, easy assembly, and safe and reliable use, which facilitates implementation and promotion. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 1-8 The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] This application discloses a waterproof gate for a garage.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3A garage waterproof gate includes a base 1 installed at the garage entrance, with a side plate 11 fixedly installed on each side of the upper surface of the base 1; a water storage chamber 2 located at the end of the base 1 near the garage exit, with a filter screen 21 covering the top of the water storage chamber 2; a level chamber 3 located on either side plate 11 and communicating with the interior of the water storage chamber 2, with a level probe installed in the level chamber 3 capable of detecting the water level and outputting a water level signal, which can be an infrared probe, ultrasonic probe, or other sensor, without limitation; a main baffle 4 located above the base 1 and hinged between the two side plates 11; and side baffles 5, one end of which is hinged to the main baffle 4, and the other end of which is slidably connected to the two side plates 11. Between the side plates 11; a linear actuator 12, hinged to the base 1 and located below the main baffle 4, the drive shaft of the linear actuator 12 is hinged to the lower surface of the main baffle 4. Multiple linear actuators 12 can be provided here, and each linear actuator 12 can be a device whose drive end can realize linear movement, such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder or electromagnetic push rod; a control module is used to receive the water level signal output by the water level probe and control the linear actuator 12 to push the main baffle 4 to rise. The control module may include a programmable logic control unit (such as a PLC or CPU), a memory and electronic components connected to the programmable logic control unit, which are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0038] When water accumulates outside the garage, it can pass through the filter screen 21 and enter the water storage chamber 2. Then, the water level probe installed in the liquid level chamber 3 detects the water level of the water entering the water storage chamber 2 and controls the linear actuator 12 to start based on the detected water level signal. The drive rod of the linear actuator 12 drives the main baffle 4 to rotate, thereby raising the main baffle 4 and reducing the probability of water backflowing into the garage from the garage entrance. During the raising process, the main baffle 4 can drive the side baffle 5 to rotate and rise, and the raised side baffle 5 can facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles in the garage.

[0039] The water level probe, main baffle 4, and side baffle 5 are designed to automatically raise the main baffle 4 and side baffle 5 when there is water accumulation outside the garage. This reduces the probability of water from outside the garage entering the garage and ensures that vehicles can enter and exit the garage normally when the water accumulation outside the garage is not severe.

[0040] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each side plate 11 is provided with a first sliding groove 111. A spring pin 112 that can slide along the first sliding groove 111 is installed on the side baffle 5. A guide groove 113 for the spring pin 112 to slide out is provided on the side of the first sliding groove 111 near the main baffle 4. A locking mechanism 6 that can fix the side baffle 5 after it pops out is provided between the main baffle 4 and the side baffle 5.

[0041] As the water level increases, the main baffle 4 gradually rises higher, and the side baffle 5 also gradually rises higher. When the water level outside the garage reaches a certain level, both the main baffle 4 and the side baffle 5 are in a nearly vertical state. At this point, on the one hand, the excessive water level outside places higher demands on the waterproofing capacity of the waterproof gate; on the other hand, the angle between the main baffle 4 and the side baffle 5 is small, which is not conducive to vehicles entering and exiting the garage. At this time, the spring pin 112 pops out from the guide slot 113, and the angle between the side baffle 5 and the main baffle 4 becomes a flat angle and is locked under the locking mechanism 6, further reducing the probability of water from outside the garage entering the garage.

[0042] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The locking mechanism 6 includes: a first hinge rod 61, which is hinged to the lower surface of the side baffle 5; a second hinge rod 62, which is slidably connected to the first hinge rod 61; a third hinge rod 63, which is hinged to the lower surface of the main baffle 4; a fourth hinge rod 64, which is slidably connected to the third hinge rod 63 and hinged to the second hinge rod 62; and a second slide groove 621. A first sliding plate 622 is slidably connected inside the second sliding groove 621, and a first top block 623 is fixedly connected to the end of the first sliding plate 622 away from the first hinge rod 61. A first locking rod 65 is hinged to the first hinge rod 61 and abuts against the upper surface of the first sliding plate 622. A first locking groove 651 is provided on the second sliding groove 621 for the first hinge rod 61 to enter. A torsion spring is provided at the hinge point of the first locking rod 65 and the first hinge rod 61 to drive the first locking rod 65 into the first locking groove 651. The first hinge rod 61 can move towards the second hinge rod 62 when the linear actuator 12 pushes the main baffle 4, and can move away from the second hinge rod 62 when the spring pin 112 disengages from the guide groove 113.

[0043] Specifically, an energy storage device should be provided between the first hinge rod 61 and the second hinge rod 62. This device can move towards the second hinge rod 62 when the first hinge rod 61 pushes the main baffle 4, and can store energy during this movement. When the spring pin 112 disengages from the guide slot 113, the energy storage device can release kinetic energy, thereby driving the first hinge rod 61 to move away from the second hinge rod 62. The energy storage device here can be in the form of a spring, and the spring should have a certain initial stress, so that the first hinge rod 61 can return to its initial state after the spring pin 112 disengages from the guide slot 113.

[0044] In detail, a mechanism should also be provided between the first hinge rod 61 and the second hinge rod 62, and between the third hinge rod 63 and the fourth hinge rod 64, to enable the first hinge rod 61 to move toward the second hinge rod 62 when the included angle between the main baffle 4 and the side baffle 5 becomes smaller. Specifically, the mechanism can be configured to restrict the downward movement of the hinge position of the second hinge rod 62 and the fourth hinge rod 64, such as making the junction of the second hinge rod 62 and the fourth hinge rod 64 abut against the upper surface of the base 1. Alternatively, the mechanism can be configured to control the rotation angle between the first hinge rod 61 and the side baffle 5, thereby fixing the angle between the first hinge rod 61 and the side baffle 5.

[0045] During the lifting of the main baffle 4, the first hinge rod 61 moves toward the second hinge rod 62. As the first hinge rod 61 moves toward the second hinge rod 62, it drives the first locking rod 65 to move toward the first top block 623. When the spring pin 112 pops out from the guide slot 113 and the angle between the side baffle 5 and the main baffle 4 is flat, the first hinge rod 61 moves away from the second hinge rod 62. When it moves to the maximum position, the first locking rod 65 rotates into the first locking slot 651 under the action of the torsion spring, thereby locking the rotation of the side baffle 5 relative to the main baffle 4.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8 Multiple flexible protrusions 7 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the first sliding plate 622, and a groove 71 is provided on the second sliding groove 621 for the flexible protrusions 7 to engage. The flexible protrusions 7 and the groove 71 can limit the probability of sliding between the first sliding plate 622 and the second sliding groove 621 when the first hinge rod 61 moves away from the second hinge rod 62.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Anti-slip strips 51 are provided on both the main baffle 4 and the side baffle 5.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 A rack 13 is mounted on the upper surface of the base 1, and a gear 14 that can mesh with the rack 13 is rotatably connected to the side baffle 5 away from the main baffle 4.

[0049] The implementation principle of the garage waterproof gate in this application embodiment is as follows: When water accumulates outside the garage, the water can enter the water storage chamber 2 through the filter screen 21. Then, the water level probe installed in the liquid level chamber 3 detects the water level of the water entering the water storage chamber 2, and controls the linear actuator 12 to start according to the detected water level signal. The drive rod of the linear actuator 12 drives the main baffle 4 to rotate, thereby enabling the main baffle 4 to be raised, reducing the probability of water backflowing into the garage from the garage entrance. During the raising process, the main baffle 4 can drive the side baffle 5 to rotate and rise, and the raised side baffle 5 can facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles in the garage.
