Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of outdoor parking equipment, and particularly relates to an outdoor AGV parking garage. Background Art

[0002] AGV parking, also known as an automatic guided vehicle parking system, is a solution that uses automation technology to achieve vehicle parking or the self-scheduling of AGVs, and is widely used in fields such as intelligent warehousing, intelligent manufacturing, and intelligent parking lots.

[0003] Traditionally, outdoor AGV parking generally is equipped with an above-ground parking garage and AGV cars. There is no need for personnel to drive the car into the parking garage. By driving the vehicle to the designated parking position in the parking garage, the personnel get out of the car. Subsequently, the AGV car drives the vehicle to the parking space in the parking garage through the car carrier plate. When picking up the car, the personnel wait in the designated waiting area outside the parking garage. The AGV car will transport the vehicle from the parking garage to the vehicle exit for the personnel to get in the car and drive away. There is no need for personnel to park the car into the garage by themselves to find a parking space and park it in the garage, saving manpower and increasing the parking density.

[0004] However, when personnel pick up the car, they need to wait in the waiting area for the AGV car to transport the vehicle to the exit and then get into the vehicle to start and drive away. Then the next person continues to wait to pick up the car. When there are more people picking up the car, the overall car-picking efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art and provide an outdoor AGV parking device.

[0006] The above technical purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: An outdoor AGV parking garage includes a parking garage and an AGV car arranged therein. A separable car carrier plate is arranged on the AGV car. At both ends of the front side of the parking garage, an entrance and an exit are respectively arranged. A transfer port is arranged between the entrance and the exit on the front side of the parking garage. A docking station located inside the parking garage is arranged at the transfer port. A translation component is arranged along the length direction of the parking garage. A support platform is connected to the translation component through a lifting component. A docking opening for the car carrier plate to pass through is opened in the middle of the support platform.

[0010] Preferably, a guiding plate is arranged on the connecting frame. A guiding ring for the connecting steel cable to pass through is arranged on the guiding plate. A plurality of groups of balls are slidably arranged in the guiding ring.

[0011] Preferably, expansion plates are rotatably arranged on the left and right sides at the upper end of the vehicle-carrying plate. Pushing members I are oppositely arranged at the left and right ends of the vehicle-carrying plate. The top end of the piston rod of the pushing member I is provided with a pushing plate.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the expansion plate. One end of the connecting rod away from the expansion plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the vehicle-carrying plate through a connecting block. The connecting rod is rotatably connected to the connecting block.

[0013] Preferably, fences are arranged at the opposite ends on the upper side of the support platform. An import and export is opened on the fence facing the docking port. A movable door panel is rotatably connected to the import and export through a rotating rod.

[0014] Preferably, a torsion spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod. One end of the torsion spring is connected to one end of the movable door panel, and the other end is connected to the fence.

[0015] Preferably, guiding plates are arranged at both the vehicle inlet and the vehicle outlet. A pushing member II is arranged at the end of the guiding plate located inside the parking garage. The top end of the piston rod of the pushing member II is provided with a limiting plate.

[0016] Advantages of the present invention: By providing a transfer port between the vehicle entry port and the vehicle exit port, and arranging a docking platform at the transfer port, and arranging a support platform in the parking garage, the support platform is driven to move along the length direction of the parking garage by a translation component, and the height position of the support platform is driven by a lifting component. Expansion plates are arranged on both sides of the vehicle-carrying plate. Compared with the prior art, the present invention enables the personnel waiting to pick up the vehicle to get onto the support platform through the docking platform, and move from the support platform to the vehicle placement area in the garage. After the AGV cart moves the vehicle out of the parking space, the support platform moves down to dock with the outside of the vehicle-carrying plate. During the period when the AGV cart drives the vehicle to the vehicle exit port through the vehicle-carrying plate, the personnel can enter the vehicle to prepare. After the vehicle is parked at the vehicle exit port, the personnel can directly drive away without waiting at the vehicle exit port for the vehicle to be placed and then enter the vehicle to start and drive away, reducing the waiting time of the personnel to a certain extent and improving the vehicle pick-up efficiency.

At the same time, it should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second, such as "connecting plate I, connecting plate II", etc., are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.

[0028] In this embodiment, the orientation terms mentioned, such as "up, down, left, right", etc., are only used to assist those skilled in the art in the technical field to understand the connection between each feature or part, etc. through each attached drawing.

[0029] In this embodiment, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, terms such as "connection" and "fixation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "fixation" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction relationship between two components. Unless otherwise clearly defined, for those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0030] Such as Figures 1 to 8As shown in the figure, an outdoor AGV parking garage includes a parking garage 1 and an AGV car 2 arranged therein. There are several groups of AGV cars 2, and a detachable car-carrying plate 3 is arranged on the AGV car 2. In this embodiment, the car-carrying plate 3 is arranged in a U shape with its opening facing downward, and the left and right sides are designed with hollow openings. Expansion plates 26 are rotatably arranged at the upper ends of the left and right sides of the car-carrying plate 3. Push members 27 are oppositely arranged at the left and right ends of the car-carrying plate 3. The top end of the piston rod of the push member 27 is provided with an L-shaped push plate 28. And a connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the expansion plate 26. One end of the connecting rod 29 away from the expansion plate 26 is slidably connected to the side wall of the car-carrying plate 3 through a connecting block 30. The connecting rod 29 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 30, and the connecting block 30 is slidably connected to the side wall of the car-carrying plate 3 along the height direction of the car-carrying plate 3. The purpose is to provide a certain bottom support for the expansion plate 26. The expansion plate 26 is used to expand the activity space of personnel on the car-carrying plate 3.

[0031] At the left and right ends of the front side of the parking garage 1, a vehicle inlet 4 and a vehicle outlet 5 are respectively arranged. A transfer port 6 is arranged between the vehicle inlet 4 and the vehicle outlet 5. And triangular guiding plates 35 are arranged at both the vehicle inlet 4 and the vehicle outlet 5. At the end of the guiding plate 35 facing the inside of the parking garage 1, a push member 36 is arranged. Two groups of opposite push members 36 are arranged on one group of guiding plates 35. The top end of the piston rod of the push member 36 is provided with an L-shaped limiting plate 37. The purpose is that when the car-carrying plate 3 is driven by the AGV car 2 to the guiding plate 35, the push member 36 can drive the limiting plate 37 to extend into the inside of the car-carrying plate 3 from the hollow openings at the left and right ends of the car-carrying plate 3, so as to limit the car-carrying plate 3 at the guiding plate 35 and prevent the position of the car-carrying plate 3 from shifting when the vehicle moves onto the car-carrying plate 3.

[0032] At the transfer port 6, there is a docking platform 7 located in the parking garage 1. The docking platform 7 includes a staircase and a tabletop at its top end. Personnel can wait on the tabletop by climbing the staircase for the support platform 8 to move over. Along the upper side of the inner wall of the parking garage 1 in its length direction, there are two sets of fixed rods 14 arranged oppositely. A moving platform 15 is slidably arranged between the two sets of fixed rods 14. At the left and right ends of the lower side of the moving platform 15, there are driving motors 10. The output shaft of the driving motor 10 is connected to a speed reducer 21. A winding disc 11 is sleeved on the output shaft of the speed reducer 21. A connecting steel cable 12 is wound on the winding disc 11. One end of the connecting steel cable 12 away from the winding disc 11 is connected to the upper side of the support platform 8 through a connecting frame 13. In this embodiment, there are two sets of connecting steel cables 12 wound on the winding disc 11. One end of the connecting steel cable 12 away from the winding disc 11 is connected to the support platform 8 through a connecting frame 13. A docking port 9 for the carrier board 3 to pass through is provided in the middle of the support platform 8. The connecting frame 13 is arranged at the front and rear ends of the upper side of the support platform 8. One ends of the two sets of connecting steel cables 12 away from the winding disc 11 are respectively located at the left and right ends of the connecting frame 13. A guiding plate 23 is vertically arranged on the upper side of the connecting frame 13. A guiding ring 24 is horizontally arranged at the upper end of the guiding plate 23. One end of the connecting steel cable 12 away from the winding disc 11 passes through the guiding ring 24 and is connected to the connecting frame 13. A number of groups of balls 25 are embedded in the guiding ring 24 along its circumferential direction.

[0033] On the left and right outer walls of the moving platform 15, there are driving motors 16. The output shaft of the driving motor 16 is connected to a speed reducer 22. On the outer wall of the fixed rod 14 along its length direction, there is a rack 17. A gear 18 meshing with the rack 17 is sleeved on the output shaft of the speed reducer 22. At one end of the moving platform 15 facing the fixed rod 14, an activity slot 19 for the fixed rod 14 to pass through is provided. On the upper and lower sides of the activity slot 19, there are rollers 20 arranged oppositely, aiming to reduce the sliding friction between the moving platform 15 and the fixed rod 14.

[0034] As Figures 5 to 6 shown, at the left and right ends of the upper side of the support platform 8, there are fences 31. An import and export (not shown in the drawings) is provided on the fence 31 facing the docking port 9. An activity door panel 33 is rotatably connected to the import and export through a rotating rod 32. A torsion spring 34 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 32. The upper end of the torsion spring 34 is connected to one end of the activity door panel 33, and the lower end of the torsion spring 34 is connected to the upper side of the fence 31, aiming to be able to reset itself after the activity door panel 33 is driven to rotate.

[0035] In this embodiment, both the pusher 27 and the pusher 36 adopt hydraulic cylinders.

[0036] When no one is parking, the connecting steel cable 12 is wound around the winding disc 11. The support platform 8 is located above the parking garage 1 and is arranged opposite to the docking platform 7. For the vehicle placed in the parking space, the extension plate 26 of the lower vehicle-carrying plate 3 is vertically arranged with the upper side of the vehicle-carrying plate 3. The first pusher 27 is in an extended state, and the top of its piston rod limits the extension plate 26 through the push plate 28.

[0037] When someone needs to pick up the vehicle, the person first determines to pick up the vehicle through the operation panel outside the parking garage 1. The idle AGV cart 2 in the parking garage 1 starts to move to the parking space of the vehicle to be picked up. The person can board the docking port 9 through the transfer port 6 and walk into the fence 31 on the support platform 8. When it is determined that no one else is coming up, the control system controls the first drive motor 10 to start rotating forward or backward, specifically depending on whether the person's vehicle is on the left or right side of the parking garage 1. If the person's vehicle is on the left side of the parking garage 1, the first drive motor 10 starts rotating forward; if the vehicle is on the right side of the parking garage 1, the first drive motor 10 starts rotating backward. Specifically, in this embodiment, the control of the AGV cart in the parking garage adopts the technical means commonly used by those skilled in the art. The control system determines whether to start the first drive motor to rotate forward or backward according to the moving direction of the AGV cart when picking up the vehicle. The first drive motor 10 indirectly drives the gear 18 to mesh with the rack 17 for transmission, and the moving platform 15 is indirectly driven to slide horizontally along the length of the fixed rod 14. The support platform 8 moves horizontally to stop directly in front of the vehicle parking space. Then the second drive motor 16 starts rotating forward, the winding disc 11 starts to pay out the wire, and the connecting steel cable 12 drives the support platform 8 to move downward. The AGV cart 2 drives the vehicle through the vehicle-carrying plate 3 to move directly in front of the parking space. The downward movement of the support platform 8 makes the vehicle-carrying plate 3 located in the middle docking port 9 of the support platform 8. Then the first pusher 27 retracts, the push plate 28 moves downward, and the extension plate 26 is no longer supported by the push plate 28. Under the action of gravity, it rotates around the connection between the extension plate 26 and the vehicle-carrying plate 3, as Figure 4As shown, it is flush with the upper side of the carrier board 3. During the rotation of the extension board 26, the connecting rod 29 on its outer wall is driven, pushing the connecting block 30 to slide up and down on the side wall of the carrier board 3. After the upper side of the extension board 26 is flush with the upper side of the carrier board 3, the extension board 26 is still supported by the upper end of the retracted push plate 28. Personnel can push the movable door panel 33 from the support platform 8 onto the carrier board 3 and enter the vehicle. Then, the second motor starts to reverse, winding the connecting steel cable 12 around the winding disc 11, and the support platform 8 starts to move up and reset. The second motor also starts to rotate forward or reverse, driving the moving platform 15 to move on the fixed rod 14, so that the support platform 8 moves back to face the docking platform 7. After personnel enter the vehicle, the AGV cart 2 starts to drive the manned vehicle through the carrier board 3 towards the vehicle exit 5. Personnel can make preparations and adjustments inside the vehicle. When the carrier board 3 moves to the vehicle exit 5, the front side of the carrier board 3 fits against the inner wall of the guide plate 35 at the vehicle exit 5. The second pusher 36 inside the guide plate 35 at the vehicle exit 5 starts to extend, and the limiting plate 37 starts to extend into the carrier board 3 from the hollow part on the side wall of the carrier board 3 to limit the carrier board 3 at the vehicle exit 5. Then, personnel can directly drive out from the vehicle exit 5 without entering the vehicle at the vehicle exit 5 and then driving away.

[0038] It should be noted that a remote control button (not shown in the attached drawings) is provided on the fence 31, and personnel can control the start of the motor through the remote control button, and the forward and reverse rotations of the motor are controlled by the control system of the parking garage 1.

[0039] It should be noted that personnel can set an access control at the transfer port 6 to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering through the stairs when not in use.

[0040] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention, not limitations thereof. Any simply transformed solutions of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
