Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of stereo garage parking, in particular to a circulation type stereo garage based on an automobile transporting AGV and a method for storing and retrieving a car. Background Art

[0002] A multi-story parking lot, also known as a mechanical multi-story parking garage or a multi-story garage parking system, is a parking facility that utilizes space resources and mechanical equipment to achieve multi-story storage of vehicles. Multi-story parking lots can be mainly divided into simple parking equipment, semi-automatic parking equipment, etc. Its working principle is mainly based on storing cars in multi-story or three-dimensional space, and using automated equipment such as lifts and turntables to achieve vehicle lifting, lateral movement, and other actions, thereby completing the vehicle storage and retrieval process.

[0003] At present, multi-storey parking lots are an important means to solve the problem of parking difficulties in cities. However, the multi-storey parking lots that have been built so far generally have low efficiency in storing and retrieving cars, especially during peak hours, when the waiting time is long, which also reduces the utilization rate of the equipment and the user experience. The reason is that users occupy the running time of the equipment when parking; the elevator can only store and retrieve one car at a time and there is an empty run each time; in addition, due to the restrictions of the terrain, the number of elevators cannot be built in large numbers. When there are many vehicles to store and retrieve, the waiting time for users will be extended.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is proposed based on a car transport AGV circulating stereo garage and a car storage and retrieval method. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a circulating three-dimensional parking garage and a car storage and retrieval method based on automobile transport AGV, which has the advantages of high lifting efficiency. It can not only solve the problem of users' parking occupying equipment operation time, but also greatly improve the lifting efficiency without adding elevators, thus solving the problem of users queuing to store and retrieve cars.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of high lifting efficiency, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: based on the automobile handling AGV circulation type three-dimensional garage, it includes a multi-layer parking platform, an entrance and exit parking platform, a circulation lifting system and an automobile handling AGV. The circulation lifting system can realize the continuous retrieval or continuous storage of multiple cars. The automobile handling AGV can enter the bottom of the car from the front or side of the car for handling, and can also operate in a two-dimensional plane;

[0007] The circulating lifting system includes a steering wheel, a rectangular circulating chain, an L-shaped circulating chain, a one-way folding vehicle loading plate, a lifting motor, a transmission shaft and an exchange area;

[0008] When the multi-story parking garage is an underground garage, the entrance and exit parking platform is located on the ground, and the circulating lifting system is used to store the car and lower it to the parking platform or to take the car out and raise it to the entrance and exit parking platform; when the multi-story parking garage is an above-ground garage, the entrance and exit parking platform is either located on the ground, and the circulating lifting system is used to store the car and raise it to the parking platform or to take the car out and lower it to the entrance and exit parking platform.

[0009] Furthermore, the multi-storey parking platform may be any one of a concrete floor and a steel structure floor, and the multi-storey parking platform may be arranged above ground, underground, or both above ground and underground.

[0010] Furthermore, the parking platform at the entrance and exit of the exchange area and the parking platform are each equipped with a group, and one group can park one or more vehicles according to usage requirements.

[0011] Furthermore, the rectangular circulating chain and the L-shaped circulating chain have the same length and are driven by the same transmission shaft, and the transmission shaft is driven by a motor.

[0012] Furthermore, both ends of the outer side of the one-way foldable car loading plate are rotatably connected to rectangular circulating chains, and both ends of the inner side are rotatably connected to L-shaped circulating chains. Driven by the rectangular circulating chains and the L-shaped circulating chains, the one-way foldable car loading plate can be raised or lowered, and at the same time, it can be raised and lowered to the exchange area to store the car in the exchange area.

[0013] Furthermore, when storing and retrieving a car, the bearing surface of the one-way foldable car loading plate is rigidly connected. When reaching the exchange area, the one-way foldable car loading plate folds in the opposite direction along the rectangular circulation chain and the L-shaped circulation chain and rises or descends along the chain. When reaching another exchange area again, the one-way foldable car loading plate unfolds to realize the storage and retrieval of the car, thus entering the next cycle.

[0014] Another technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for storing and retrieving vehicles based on a car transport AGV circulating stereo garage, including the following steps of storing and retrieving vehicles:

[0015] A1: The car enters from the entrance and exit and parks at any position indicated by the car. There is no mechanical equipment at these parking positions, so when users get on and off the car, the parking equipment operates normally and there is no need to wait for the equipment to operate in place before entering the parking position;

[0016] A2: Set up multiple car transport AGVs to detect whether the parked vehicles and personnel have left. After confirming that it is safe, the car transport AGV will move the car to the exchange area. The exchange area can be set up to park multiple cars according to demand;

[0017] A3: After the car arrives at the exchange area, the rectangular and L-shaped circulation chains run counterclockwise, the one-way folding car loading plate is also converted from a vertical position to a flat position, and the rollers on the exchange area also run counterclockwise, thus sending the car from the exchange area to the one-way folding car loading plate of the lifting system. The rectangular and L-shaped circulation chains continue to run counterclockwise to lift the car to the multiple flat parking layer, and then send it to the exchange area of ​​the parking layer;

[0018] A4: Set up multiple car-handling AGVs, which carry cars from the exchange area to the parking spaces on the parking floor to complete the parking. When picking up the car, the same action of picking up the car is exactly the opposite of the action of parking the car.

[0019] Furthermore, the vehicle entrance in A1 can also be arranged in a turnover area outside the equipment.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a circulating stereo garage based on automobile transport AGV and a method for storing and retrieving vehicles, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. The circulating stereoscopic car garage and car storage and retrieval method based on car-handling AGVs, by setting up multiple car-handling AGVs, and then through the cooperation between the circulating lifting system and the car-handling AGVs, by detecting whether the parked vehicles and the personnel have left, after confirming that it is safe, the car-handling AGV enters the bottom of the car from the front or side of the car to transport it to the exchange area, and then uses the circulating lifting system to continuously retrieve or store multiple cars, which can effectively improve the efficiency of car storage and retrieval, and achieve the advantage of high efficiency improvement of car storage and retrieval.

[0022] 2. The automobile handling AGV-based circulating stereoscopic car garage and the method for storing and retrieving cars can effectively shorten the time spent on storing and retrieving cars, shorten the time for users to queue for storing and retrieving cars, and effectively improve the efficiency of storing and retrieving cars, thus achieving the advantage of high efficiency in storing and retrieving cars. It can not only solve the problem of users' parking occupying the operating time of equipment, but also greatly improve the efficiency without adding elevators, thus solving the problem of users queuing for storing and retrieving cars.
