Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vertical aircraft infrastructure, and particularly to a three-dimensional parking system for electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. Background Art

[0002] An electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL) is a new type of aviation vehicle. Its design combines electric propulsion with the ability to take off and land vertically, enabling it to operate in limited spaces, especially suitable for urban environments. With the continuous development of eVTOL, the corresponding infrastructure construction needs have become increasingly prominent.

[0003] Existing eVTOL parking systems mostly adopt fixed multi-layer structures or single-plane layouts, suffering from problems such as low space utilization, poor scheduling flexibility, and inefficient energy management. Most existing multi-layer parking apron systems allocate eVTOLs to different levels of parking spaces through lifting platforms or rotating mechanisms.

[0004] Therefore, the present invention proposes a three-dimensional parking system for electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that can perform dynamic space allocation, intelligent energy management, and improve space utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a three-dimensional parking system for electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft to solve the problems of low space utilization, lack of intelligence, and poor compatibility of charging facilities in the existing parking systems.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft three-dimensional parking system, comprising: several parking floors, a top takeoff and landing floor, several passenger elevators and several parking elevator shafts. The parking elevator shafts penetrate and connect the top takeoff and landing floor and several parking floors. The top takeoff and landing floor and several parking floors are connected by passenger elevators. A warning light and an electronic display screen are arranged on the top takeoff and landing floor. The warning light and the electronic display screen are used for information prompting. A protection plate is arranged inside the top takeoff and landing floor. A protection plate power wheel set is arranged at the bottom of the protection plate. The protection plate power wheel set is used to move the protection plate. The protection plate is used to block and protect the parking elevator shaft. A parking elevator is slidably connected up and down inside the parking elevator shaft. A translation function plate is connected to the top of the parking elevator. A parking plate abuts against the top of the translation function plate. The inside of the translation function plate includes several axial power wheel sets and several longitudinal power wheel sets. The parking floor includes several parking rooms and parking elevator shafts. Switch doors are arranged in four directions of the parking elevator shaft. Control rooms or warehouses are arranged at the four corner points of the parking floor. A translation function plate and a parking plate are correspondingly arranged in each parking room. The parking plate abuts against the upper side of the translation function plate. The inside aisles of the parking floor are all paved with translation function plates. The outermost side of the parking floor is a pedestrian passage. The pedestrian passage is connected to the passenger elevator. Several parking rooms are all provided with switch doors connected to the pedestrian passage;

[0008] The control room controls the parking elevator, the translation function plate, the protection plate power wheel set, the warning light and the electronic display screen. The control room can communicate with the outside and complete the parking and takeoff of the aircraft through the cooperation of each component; the content of the control room controlling the parking elevator includes the up and down movement of the parking elevator, the opening and closing of the switch doors in four directions corresponding to the floors of the parking elevator, and the control of the translation function plate inside the parking elevator; the content of the control room controlling the translation function plate includes the switch of the axial power wheel set, the bidirectional movement control and the switch of the longitudinal power wheel set, the bidirectional movement control; the control room controls the movement of the protection plate by controlling the protection plate power wheel set; the control room controls the warning light to display different colors for prompting; the control room controls the electronic display screen to display text content.

[0009] Further, the system can be built independently or embedded in an existing building to provide the functions of aircraft takeoff and parking for the building

[0010] Further, the number of passenger elevators is set to one, and the number of parking elevator shafts is set to two.

[0011] Further, high-friction materials are used on the lower side of the parking plate, outside the translation function plate, and the wheels of the axial power wheel set and the longitudinal power wheel set, so as to ensure that the translation function plate and the parking plate fit closely.

[0012] Furthermore, an electric telescopic structure is provided inside the translation function board. The electric telescopic structure is connected to the axial power wheel set and the longitudinal power wheel set. When the aircraft takes off or lands and the translation function board is not in use, the axial power wheel set and the longitudinal power wheel set can be retracted into the translation function board.

[0013] Furthermore, the warning lights are arranged in a cross shape on the side of the elevator shaft for aircraft parking on the top takeoff and landing layer. The warning lights display three colors: red, yellow, and green. Red indicates that landing is not allowed, green indicates that landing is allowed, and yellow indicates that waiting for landing is required.

[0014] Furthermore, a charging system is provided at a position higher than the parking board inside each parking room. The charging system is used to charge the aircraft. The charging system models in different parking layers are different and are suitable for charging different models of aircraft.

[0015] Furthermore, a cross-shaped lamp tube is provided on the top of the protection board, and the cross-shaped lamp tube displays yellow.

[0016] Principle of the technical solution: Taking the process of aircraft takeoff and landing as an example, for aircraft landing: The aircraft communicates with the control room. The control room detects whether there is any vacancy in the internal parking room and the model of the aircraft. If there is still vacancy, the warning light displays green, indicating that landing and parking are allowed. If it is red, it means that landing and parking are not allowed. If it is yellow, it means that there is an aircraft in the process of parking, and waiting is required. The aircraft lands on the parking board. The control room controls the elevator for aircraft parking to move to the corresponding parking layer. After reaching the parking layer, the control room selects the best moving route according to the position of the elevator shaft for aircraft parking and the position of the parking room. The doors on the corresponding side of the elevator shaft for aircraft parking are opened. The translation function board in the elevator for aircraft parking extends and starts the power wheel set in the corresponding direction through the electric telescopic structure, thereby driving the parking board to move. After reaching the next translation function board, the power wheel set in the corresponding direction extends and starts, continuing to drive the parking board to move until the parking board reaches the inside of the parking room, thus completing the parking and departure of the aircraft. At the same time, during the parking process, the power wheel set of the protection board in the parking layer will drive the protection board to close the elevator shaft for aircraft parking, and the warning lights and the cross-shaped lamp tube display yellow. Similarly, when the aircraft takes off, the parking board is moved into the elevator shaft for aircraft parking through multiple translation function boards and then moved to the takeoff and landing layer through the elevator for aircraft parking to take off. The pilot of the aircraft can enter the corresponding parking layer through the passenger elevator and enter the corresponding parking room through the pedestrian passage.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the technical solution are as follows: The system of the present invention adopts a vertical stacked parking structure, which can greatly increase the parking capacity and improve the space utilization rate. Through the cooperation of various components, the system of the present invention can quickly park the aircraft and move the parked aircraft to the takeoff position, which can reduce the takeoff and landing waiting time of eVTOL and greatly improve the efficiency. The present invention adopts a standardized module setting, supports vertical expansion according to requirements, and the initial construction cost is lower than that of traditional apron. Different charging systems are equipped on different parking floors of the system of the present invention, which can be applied to various types of aircraft for charging and effectively meet the rapid charging needs of multiple models of eVTOL.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments:

[0024] As Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, a three-dimensional parking system for an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft includes three parking floors 1, a top take-off and landing floor 2, a passenger elevator 3, and two parking elevator shafts 4. The two parking elevator shafts 4 penetrate from the top take-off and landing floor 2 to the bottom parking floor 1. Between the top take-off and landing floor 2 and the parking floor 1, and between the parking floors 1, they are connected through the two parking elevator shafts 4. The passenger elevator 3 is arranged on the side, and the passenger elevator 3 is used to transport people to move between floors. Four warning lights 21 are arranged in a cross shape on the side of the parking elevator shaft 4 on the top take-off and landing floor 2. The warning lights 21 are used to display different colors for warning. When the warning light 21 shows red, it means that landing is not allowed. When it shows green, it means that landing is allowed. When it shows yellow, it means that waiting for landing is required. The top take-off and landing floor 2 is also provided with two electronic display screens 22, and the electronic display screens 22 are used to display text information, such as the model, license plate, parking position, etc. of the aircraft. Inside the side of the parking elevator shaft 4 on the top take-off and landing floor 2, there is a protection plate 23 and a protection plate power wheel set 24. The protection plate 23 is arranged above the protection plate power wheel set 24. By controlling the protection plate power wheel set 24, the protection plate 23 can be driven to move left and right to close and open the parking elevator shaft 4. A cross-shaped lamp tube 25 is arranged on the top of the protection plate 23, and the cross-shaped lamp tube 25 can display yellow light. After the protection plate 23 closes the parking elevator shaft 4, the cross-shaped lamp tube 25 shows yellow light. The parking elevator 41 slides up and down in the parking elevator shaft 4. The top of the parking elevator 41 is connected with a translation function board 5. The top of the translation function board 5 abuts against the parking board 42. The parking board 42 in the parking elevator 41 is the parking board 42 in a certain parking room 11. A number of axial power wheel sets 51 and longitudinal power wheel sets 52 are arranged on the top of the translation function board 5. The bottom of the parking board 42, the top of the translation function board 5, and the wheel parts of the axial power wheel sets 51 and longitudinal power wheel sets 52 are all made of high-friction materials, so as to ensure that the translation function board 5 and the parking board 42 are closely attached and ensure the stability during the movement. An electric telescopic structure is arranged inside the translation function board 5. The electric telescopic structure is connected with the axial power wheel sets 51 and the longitudinal power wheel sets 52. Through the electric telescopic structure, when the aircraft takes off and lands and the translation function board 5 is not in use, the axial power wheel sets 51 and the longitudinal power wheel sets 52 can be retracted into the translation function board 5. Switch doors are arranged in four directions on each floor of the parking elevator shaft 4.At the internal center of the parking floor 1 are two parking elevators 4. There are several parking rooms 11 arranged in the parking floor 1, and the specific number can be set according to needs. In this embodiment, there are five arranged vertically and three arranged horizontally. At the four corner points of the parking floor 1 are used to set up warehouses 12 or control rooms 13. In this embodiment, one control room 13 and three warehouses 12 are set up. On the outside of the parking floor 1 is a pedestrian passage 6. Each parking room 11 is provided with a switchable door so as to be able to communicate with the pedestrian passage 6. The pedestrian passage 6 is connected to the passenger elevator 3. Translation function plates 5 are laid in the aisles inside the parking floor 1, and translation function plates 5 are also laid in each parking room 11. A parking board 42 is abutted on the translation function plate 5 in each parking room 11. A charging system is arranged above the parking board 42 in each parking room 11, and the types of charging systems on each parking floor 1 are different, which can meet the charging requirements of different types of aircraft.

[0025] The control room 13 controls the parking elevators 41, the translation function plates 5, the protection plate power wheel sets 24, the warning lights 21 and the electronic display screens 22. The control room 13 can communicate with the outside and complete the parking and take-off of the aircraft through the cooperation of each component; the content of the control of the parking elevators 41 by the control room 13 includes the up and down movement of the parking elevators 41, the opening and closing of the four-direction switchable doors corresponding to the floors of the parking elevators 41, and the control of the translation function plates 5 inside the parking elevators 41; the content of the control of the translation function plates 5 by the control room 13 includes the switching on and off of the axial power wheel sets 51, the two-way movement control, the switching on and off of the longitudinal power wheel sets 52, and the two-way movement control; the control room 13 controls the movement of the protection plate 23 by controlling the protection plate power wheel sets 24; the control room 13 controls the warning lights 21 to display different colors for warning; the control room 13 controls the electronic display screens 22 to display text content.

[0026] The specific implementation process is as follows: During the landing process of the aircraft, the aircraft first communicates with the control room 13 to request landing. The control room 13 receives the request, checks whether the internal parking room 11 is vacant, and receives information such as the model and license plate of the aircraft. The control room 13 selects a suitable parking room 11 for the aircraft and plans the route from the parking room 11 to the top takeoff and landing layer 2. The parking board 42 in the parking room 11 moves into the parking elevator 41 through the cooperation of multiple translation function boards 5 on the planned route and rises from the parking elevator shaft 4 to the top takeoff and landing layer 2 for the aircraft to land. The indicator light 21 shows a green light to indicate that the aircraft can land. The electronic display screen 22 shows text information such as the model of the aircraft, license plate, and the location of the parking room 11. After the aircraft lands on the parking board 42, the control room 13 plans the route from the top takeoff and landing layer 2 to the corresponding parking room 11. Then the parking elevator 41 moves to the corresponding floor and opens the switch door in the corresponding direction, and sequentially opens the translation function boards 5 on the specified route. The axial power wheel set 51 and the longitudinal power wheel set 52 on the translation function board 5 extend through the electric telescopic structure and start to operate, so as to move the aircraft and the translation function board 5 into the parking room 11 to complete parking. During the parking process of the aircraft, the protection board 23 will block the parking elevator shaft 4. At the same time, the indicator light 21 and the cross-shaped lamp tube 25 show yellow lights, indicating that the external aircraft needs to wait. The pilot of the aircraft can enter the corresponding floor through the passenger elevator 3 and enter the parking room 11 through the pedestrian passage 6. Similarly, during the takeoff process of the aircraft, the control room 13 plans the route from the parking room 11 to the top takeoff and landing layer 2, and the parking board 42 and the aircraft are moved into the parking elevator shaft 4 through the cooperation of multiple translation function boards 5 and move to the top takeoff and landing layer 2 through the parking elevator 41 shaft 4 for takeoff.
