Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated parking systems, and particularly to vertical circulation and lane-type automated parking systems and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional vertical circulation parking garages, due to their structural characteristics, are generally independent multi-level structures with two rows and a single column. In addition to requiring a large lifting power, they also occupy a large area of ​​ground auxiliary space, resulting in a high average cost per parking space, which hinders the widespread application of this type of parking garage. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address one or more of the above problems, the present invention provides a vertical circulation lane-type automated parking system.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, the vertical circulation lane-type automated parking system includes: a vertical circulation series parking garage, a fixed side-moving vehicle rack, and a lane transport line;

[0005] A vertical circulation series parking garage is a parking garage composed of at least two vertical circulation automated parking systems connected longitudinally end to end. The vertical circulation series parking garage includes an open comb-tooth hanging basket. The car-carrying platform of the open comb-tooth hanging basket has a longitudinally through opening in the middle. The car-carrying platform area for storing the four wheels of the vehicle is equipped with a vertically through cantilever comb-tooth structure platform. The longitudinal horizontal distance between the vertical hanging rods at both ends of the car-carrying platform is greater than the length of the vehicle.

[0006] The fixed side-shifting parking rack consists of two or more rows of single-row, multi-layered, longitudinally arranged fixed three-dimensional parking racks. The two rows of fixed side-shifting parking racks are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the vertical circulation series parking garage. Each fixed parking space is equipped with a side-shifting device that can extend and retract laterally inward. The side-shifting device has two levels of side-shifting brackets and follower brackets that can extend and retract laterally. The side-shifting brackets can fully extend into the open comb-tooth hanging basket and place the vehicle under the chassis, lifting the vehicle and thus enabling the vehicle to be transferred laterally between the vertical circulation series parking garage and the fixed side-shifting parking rack.

[0007] The aisle transport line includes: multiple transport trolleys, multiple parking platforms, and a drive unit fixed to the ground. The aisle transport line is installed longitudinally below all the hanging baskets at the bottom of the vertical circulation series garage that carry vehicles, and is used to longitudinally and horizontally transport vehicles into or out of the parking area.

[0008] The transport trolley has a telescopic comb frame. After the telescopic comb frame extends, it and the cantilever comb structure platform of the open comb basket are staggered and can pass through vertically, thus realizing the vertical transfer of vehicles between the vertically circulating series garage and the aisle transport line. The cantilever comb bearing platform on the parking platform is the same as the open cantilever comb bearing platform on the open comb basket. It can pass the transport trolley horizontally in the longitudinal direction and allow the telescopic comb frame extended from the transport trolley to pass through vertically up and down, so as to complete the picking up or putting down of vehicles and realize the handover of vehicles to the driver.

[0009] The drive unit of the tunnel conveyor line includes a high-level roller conveyor and a low-level roller conveyor. The high-level roller conveyor and the low-level roller conveyor can transport multiple unpowered transport trolleys simultaneously.

[0010] The empty transport trolley driven by the low-level roller conveyor can pass through the space below the transport trolley driven by the high-level roller conveyor, thus enabling the empty trolley to return without obstacles and achieving continuous operation of the garage system.

[0011] In some implementations, a garage management system is also included. The garage management system includes equipment electrical control software, intelligent monitoring software, and electrical hardware systems such as various sensors. It processes data such as unified license plate recognition, parking space allocation, time recording, and fee calculation for each vehicle's "storage" or "retrieval" requirements, and issues instructions to the overall garage's operating devices and receives feedback information accordingly, so as to realize the garage's automated and intelligent vehicle storage and retrieval functions.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it provides a vertical circulation lane-type three-dimensional parking garage system, which uses two or more vertical circulation parking garages connected in series, plus two rows of fixed three-dimensional car racks to form an integrated lane-type parking garage system. This system increases the number of parking spaces while reducing costs. At the same time, with a reasonable parking garage management system, it can accelerate the speed of vehicle entry and exit, increase the efficiency of parking garage use, and facilitate the realization of parking garage automation, unmanned operation, and intelligence.

[0013] In some embodiments, the lateral shifter includes: a follower lever, a lateral pusher, and a lateral shift bracket, a follower frame, and a lateral shift track frame, all of which are track frames;

[0014] The rear half of the side-shift bracket is rolled to connect to the follower frame. The side-shift bracket is connected to the pushing end of the side-push device. The thickness of the side-shift bracket is less than the minimum ground clearance of the vehicle. The thrust device pushes the side-shift bracket. The thrust device can move laterally on the follower frame and fully extend into the open comb-tooth hanging basket under the vehicle chassis. The side-shift bracket can support and lift the entire vehicle, thereby realizing the lateral transfer of the vehicle between the vertical circulating series garage and the fixed side-shift storage rack.

[0015] The rear end of the follower frame is connected to the side-shifting track frame by a rolling motion, and the follower lever is installed below the tail crossbeam of the side-shifting bracket. When the side-shifting bracket moves laterally, the follower lever can touch and drive the follower frame to move left and right on the side-shifting track frame. The side-shifting bracket and the follower frame form a two-stage lateral horizontal telescopic structure.

[0016] The lateral shifting track frame is installed horizontally in the center of each parking space, and the lateral shifting track frame is connected to the fixed end of the lateral push device.

[0017] In some embodiments, a lifting mechanism is installed on the side-shift bracket. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting frame, a lifting cylinder, a power torsion arm, a fixed hinge, a push rod, and a front support arm. The lifting frame consists of two forks and a vertical longitudinal connecting frame that connects the two forks at the rear. The lifting cylinder, which is erected on the rear crossbeam of the side-shift bracket, has a piston rod that can lift the upper crossbeam of the longitudinal connecting frame. Through the force transmission action of the linkage mechanism composed of the power torsion arm, the fixed hinge, the push rod, and the front support arm, the lifting frame can lift the vehicle horizontally, thus enabling the side-shift device itself to have the function of lifting the vehicle.

[0018] In some embodiments, the open-top comb-tooth gantry and side shifter can carry a separate charging device. This involves setting up a rechargeable parking space on the automated parking rack. The separate charging device is a power connection device that can be transported with the vehicle and is placed on both sides of the open-top comb-tooth gantry's vehicle platform. The separate charging device includes: a follower plug, a cable connection, a follower socket, a first positioning seat, a plug-in bracket, a cantilever fork, a second positioning seat, and an output charging plug. The follower plug and follower socket are connected by a cable connection. The follower plug is inserted into the vehicle's charging socket. The follower socket is installed at the lower end of a vertical cylinder below the plug-in bracket. This vertical cylinder can be inserted from top to bottom into a vertical hole in the first positioning seat installed on the side of the vehicle platform of the lifting vehicle, with the follower socket in a suspended state. The top of the upper notch of the plug-in bracket has an electric pin, which is normally in an open state. Once the follower plug is inserted into the vehicle... After the charging socket is installed, the split charging device is powered on, and the electric pin extends laterally to close the opening above the plug-in bracket. The cantilever fork is installed below the lifting frame. When the lifting mechanism is moved laterally by the side shifter, the cantilever fork is also inserted laterally into the closed opening above the plug-in bracket. As the lifting mechanism lifts the vehicle, the cantilever fork also lifts the split charging device together, and the lowest follower socket is higher than the upper surface of the first positioning seat, so that the side shifter can move the vehicle to be charged and the split charging device into the parking space together. The charging pile is fixedly installed in the empty position of each charging parking space. The output charging plug of the charging pile is fixed to the split charging device after it is moved into the parking space by the second positioning seat. At this time, it is directly below the follower socket. When the lifting mechanism descends, the follower socket can be aligned with the output charging plug of the charging pile and inserted, that is, the vehicle battery is officially connected to the charging pile and charging begins.

[0019] When a vehicle entering the open comb-tooth suspended platform does not require charging, the split charging device is not powered on, the opening above the plug-in bracket is not closed, the plug-in bracket cannot be lifted by the laterally inserted cantilever fork, and it cannot be moved to the side.

[0020] In some implementations, the split-type charging devices are positioned uniformly on the sides of each basket's vehicle-carrying platform in the vertical circulation parking garage. Therefore, the positions of the cantilever forks mounted on the lifting mechanism in the left and right fixed parking spaces are different: one side is installed below the fork tips of the lifting frame, and the other side is installed below the vertical connecting frame of the lifting frame. This allows both sides to access the split-type charging devices on the same side of each basket's vehicle-carrying platform. Similarly, the corresponding internal second positioning seats for the charging pile output plug are installed and fixedly mounted below their respective cantilever forks. When a vehicle needs to be retrieved, the lifting mechanism first lifts it up, and simultaneously the cantilever forks... The fork unplugs the follow-up socket from the charging plug of the charging station. Regardless of whether the vehicle is fully charged, the vehicle battery is now detached from the charging station and moved laterally by the side shifter from the fixed parking space to above the basket platform. Then, the lifting mechanism descends and places the vehicle on the basket platform. At the same time, the descending cantilever fork inserts the plug-in bracket into the first positioning seat. The side shifter, along with the lifting mechanism and the cantilever fork, returns to the fixed parking space. Then, the basket platform lowers the vehicle to the bottom floor. The driver unplugs the follow-up plug from the vehicle's charging socket, removes the suction cup or hook, and puts them back in their original storage locations on the platform. The driver can then drive the vehicle out.

[0021] In some embodiments, the tunnel transport line includes: a transport trolley, an elevated roller conveyor, a lifting roller conveyor, a low-level roller conveyor, a traversing device, and a parking platform.

[0022] A low-level roller conveyor is a continuous conveyor that is installed longitudinally and uninterruptedly on a roadway transport line. The low-level roller conveyor is a drive device installed on the ground to transport empty trolleys back.

[0023] The high-level roller conveyor and the lifting roller conveyor are connected alternately to form a high-level roller conveyor line. The high-level roller conveyor is installed on the ground and is the drive device for transporting fully loaded vehicles. The lifting roller conveyor is installed directly below the parking platform or the comb-shaped vehicle platform that carries the vehicle. It is also responsible for lifting and lowering the vehicle. It not only completes the vertical transfer function of the vehicle, but also drives the vehicle carrying trolley to move longitudinally. At the same time, it realizes the vertical transfer function of the vehicle carrying trolley between the high-level roller conveyor line and the low-level roller conveyor.

[0024] The transport trolley itself is not powered; its longitudinal movement is driven by the high-level rotary roller conveyor and the low-level rotary roller conveyor, and its lifting movement is driven by the lifting rotary roller conveyor.

[0025] Two transport trolleys at different vertical positions can move freely between each other, allowing multiple transport vehicles to be placed in the same lane and run back and forth simultaneously without obstructing each other. This enables unobstructed return trips for empty vehicles, thus achieving continuous operation of the garage system. Attached Figure Description

[0065] The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0066] like Figures 1 to 29 As shown, a vertical circulation lane-type automated parking system includes: a vertical circulation series parking garage 1, a fixed side-moving vehicle rack 2, and a lane transport line 3.

[0067] The vertical circulation series garage 1 is a garage composed of at least two vertical circulation automated garages connected longitudinally end to end. The vertical circulation series garage 1 includes an open comb-tooth hanging basket 10. The car-carrying plate of the open comb-tooth hanging basket 10 has a longitudinally penetrating opening in the middle. The car-carrying plate area for storing the four wheels of the vehicle is provided with a vertically penetrating cantilever comb-tooth structure platform. The longitudinal horizontal distance between the vertical hanging rods at both ends of the car-carrying plate is greater than the length of the vehicle.

[0068] The fixed side-shifting parking rack 2 is a fixed three-dimensional parking rack with two or more rows of single-row, multi-layer longitudinally arranged parking spaces. The two rows of fixed side-shifting parking racks 2 are symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the vertical circulation series parking garage 1. Each fixed parking space is equipped with a side-shifting device 20 that extends and retracts inward. The side-shifting device 20 has two levels of side-shifting brackets 21 and follower brackets 22 that can extend and retract laterally. The side-shifting brackets 21 can fully extend into the open comb basket 10 and place the vehicle chassis under it, and lift the vehicle, thereby realizing the lateral transfer of the vehicle between the vertical circulation series parking garage 1 and the fixed side-shifting parking rack 2.

[0069] The aisle transport line 3 includes: multiple transport trolleys 31, multiple parking platforms 36, and a drive unit fixed to the ground. The aisle transport line 3 is installed longitudinally below all the baskets at the bottom of the vertical circulation series garage 1 that carry vehicles, and is used to longitudinally and horizontally transport vehicles into or out of the parking area.

[0070] The transport trolley 31 has a telescopic comb frame 312. After the telescopic comb frame 312 is extended, the telescopic comb frame 312 and the cantilever comb structure platform of the open comb basket 10 are staggered and can pass through vertically, thereby realizing the vertical transfer of vehicles between the vertically circulating series garage 1 and the aisle transport line 3. The cantilever comb bearing platform on the parking platform 36 is the same as the open cantilever comb bearing platform on the open comb basket 10. It can pass through the transport trolley 31 horizontally in the longitudinal direction, and the telescopic comb frame 312 extending from the transport trolley 31 can pass through vertically up and down to complete the picking up or putting down of vehicles and realize the handover of vehicles to the driver.

[0071] The drive unit of the tunnel transport line 3 includes a high-level roller conveyor 32 and a low-level roller conveyor 34. The high-level roller conveyor 32 and the low-level roller conveyor 34 can transport multiple unpowered transport trolleys 31 at the same time. The empty transport trolleys 31 driven by the low-level roller conveyor 34 can pass through the space below the transport trolleys 31 driven by the high-level roller conveyor 32, thus realizing the unobstructed return of the empty trolleys and achieving the continuous operation function of the garage system.

[0072] The beneficial effects of this invention are: it enables multiple vertical circulation parking garages to be connected longitudinally, saving a significant amount of auxiliary area and space before entry; at the same time, by adding fixed parking spaces on both sides laterally, it greatly increases the number of parking spaces while keeping the parking area unchanged, and reduces the number of vertical circulation drive and transmission devices used, which are costly to manufacture and consume a lot of electricity during use. It also enables vehicles to enter and exit the garage continuously and without interruption, reducing the waiting time for drivers outside the garage. The larger the garage capacity of this type, the more significant the beneficial effects.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a vertical circulation aisle-type automated parking system includes: a vertical circulation series parking garage 1, a fixed side-shifting parking rack 2, an aisle transport line 3, and a parking management system 7. The vertical circulation series parking garage 1 is a parking garage consisting of at least two or more traditional vertical circulation automated parking garages connected longitudinally end to end, with the car-carrying baskets modified into open comb-tooth baskets. The fixed side-shifting parking rack 2 is a fixed three-dimensional parking rack consisting of two or more single-row multi-layer fixed racks symmetrically installed on the left and right sides of the vertical circulation series parking garage 1. The aisle transport line 3 includes: a longitudinal aisle transport line with multiple transport trolleys and parking platforms, as well as corresponding transport devices, and a longitudinal horizontal transport line installed below all the bottom comb-tooth baskets of the vertical circulation series parking garage 1. Preferably, the system also includes the parking management system 7, which includes: equipment electrical control software, intelligent monitoring software, and electrical hardware systems such as various sensors. The system processes data such as unified license plate recognition, parking space allocation, time recording, and fee calculation for each vehicle's "storage" or "retrieval" requirements, and issues instructions to the overall parking garage operation devices and receives feedback information.

[0074] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the vertical circulation series garage 1 is a garage composed of at least two traditional vertical circulation automated garages connected longitudinally end to end. All the car-carrying baskets are open comb-tooth baskets 10. The car-carrying plate of the open comb-tooth basket 10 has a longitudinally penetrating opening in the middle. The car-carrying plate area storing the four wheels of the vehicle is equipped with a vertically penetrating cantilever comb-tooth structure platform. The longitudinal horizontal distance between the vertical hanging rods at both ends of the car-carrying plate is greater than the length of the vehicle. The beneficial effect is that the matching comb-tooth structure platform can pass through vertically up and down to realize the lateral or vertical transfer of the vehicle, and the vehicle can move laterally into or out of the basket to realize the lateral or vertical transfer of the vehicle.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, the fixed side-shifting parking rack 2 is a fixed three-dimensional parking rack with two or more single-row multi-layer longitudinally arranged parking spaces, symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the vertical circulation series parking garage 1. It includes: a three-dimensional parking space rack 200 and a side-shifter 20. The three-dimensional parking space rack 200 is a three-dimensional rectangular frame fixed to the ground with at least two or more rows of multi-layer fixed parking space. The space between the two columns on the inner side of each fixed parking space is larger than the length and height of the vehicle. Each fixed parking space is equipped with a vehicle side-shifter 20 facing that side. The side-shifter 20 has two levels of side-shifting brackets 21 and follower brackets 22 that can be horizontally extended and retracted laterally. The side-shifting brackets 21 can be fully extended into the open comb basket 10 and placed under the chassis of the vehicle, and lift the vehicle, realizing the function of lateral transfer of the vehicle between the vertical circulation series parking garage 1 and the fixed side-shifting parking rack 2.

[0076] The automated parking system 200 includes: column trusses 201, inner longitudinal beams 202, and outer longitudinal beams 203. The automated parking system 200 is a three-dimensional rectangular frame consisting of at least two rows of multi-level parking spaces, where the horizontal distance between two adjacent column trusses 201 is equal to the longitudinal length of the vehicle, each layer is taller than the vertical height of the vehicle, and the inner and outer sides are connected by inner longitudinal beams 202 and outer longitudinal beams 203 respectively. Each fixed parking space is equipped with a side shifter 20. The number of layers in the automated parking system 200 is no greater than the number of layers in the middle vertically cascading parking space. The number of layers in garage 1, the highest layer of the three-dimensional parking rack 200 is slightly lower than the highest layer of the vertically circulating series garage 1, the lowest layer of the three-dimensional parking rack 200 is slightly higher than the lowest layer of the vertically circulating series garage 1, and the installed side shifters 20 can shift inward by a certain distance. The open comb-tooth hanging basket 10 in the vertically circulating series garage 1 shifts laterally by a certain distance towards the center during the deflection towards the center of the highest and lowest layers. The beneficial effect is that the lateral shift distance of the side shifters 20 installed on all fixed parking spaces can be equal.

[0077] Furthermore, such as Figures 7 to 10As shown, the lateral shifter 20 includes: a lateral shift bracket 21, a follower frame 22, a lateral shift track frame 23, a follower lever 24, front rollers 25, rear rollers 26, and a thrust device 27. The lateral shift bracket 21, follower frame 22, and lateral shift track frame 23 are all horizontal frames. The lateral shift bracket 21 includes a bracket side beam 211, a bracket crossbeam 212, and an anti-slip buffer block 213. The follower frame 22 includes a follower side beam 221 and a follower crossbeam 222. The lateral shift track frame 23 includes a lateral shift track 231 and a lateral shift rear beam 232. Two sets of front rollers 25 are respectively installed on both sides of the front end of the lateral shift track frame 23, supporting the side beams of the follower frame 22 from below. Two sets of rear rollers 26 are installed at the rear end of the follower frame 22 and embedded in the side rails of the lateral shift track frame 23. The track 231 rolls within the track, allowing the follower frame 22 to move laterally on the side-shifting track 23. Four sets of rear rollers 26 are installed on the rear half of the side-shifting bracket 21 and are embedded in the follower side beams 22 on both sides of the follower frame 22, allowing the side-shifting bracket 21 to move laterally on the follower frame 22. Four anti-slip buffer blocks 213 are installed above the bracket side beams 211, located in the area of ​​the four support points of the vehicle chassis. In each fixed parking space, the side-shifting track 23 is installed laterally on the inner longitudinal beam 202 and outer longitudinal beam 203 in the lateral area between the front and rear wheels of the vehicle. The follower lever 24 is installed below the bracket crossbeam 212 at the rear. During the forward movement of the side-shifting bracket 21, when the follower lever 24 touches the middle of the follower frame 22... After the moving crossbeam 222 is moved, the follower frame 22 can move forward until the side-shifting bracket 21 reaches its maximum lateral shift position and stops. Since the thickness of the horizontal frame of the side-shifting bracket 21 and the follower frame 22 is less than the vehicle's minimum ground clearance, the side-shifting bracket 21 can pass laterally under the vehicle chassis. When its foremost end reaches the other side of the vehicle, the follower frame 22 extends outward by about half its length, at which point the side-shifter 20 can fully support the entire vehicle. When the side-shifting bracket 21 retracts into the fixed parking space, after the follower lever 24 touches the rear end of the follower crossbeam 222, the follower frame 22 can return to its initial position. The follower frame 22 serves both to increase the lateral extension distance of the side-shifting bracket 21 and to resist bending moments. The reinforcing components; the hydraulically powered thrust device 27 here includes: a hydraulic power unit 271 and a side-shifting cylinder 272. The side-shifting cylinder 272 is a two-stage telescopic cylinder, horizontally positioned in the center of the side-shifter 20. The end of its inner piston rod is connected to the front bracket crossbeam 212 of the side-shifting bracket 21, and the end of its outer cylinder is installed on the side-shifting rear beam 232 of the side-shifting track frame 23. The length of the outer cylinder is relatively short. When the stroke length of the first-stage inner cylinder is less than the maximum lateral extension distance required by the side-shifting bracket 21, the stroke of the second-stage outer cylinder is used to supplement it. The hydraulic power unit 271 is installed in the space behind each fixed parking space that does not affect the parking of the vehicle. The thrust device 27 is the driving device for realizing the lateral movement of the side-shifting bracket 21.In this state, the transfer of vehicles between the open comb-tooth basket 10 and the side shifter 20 is achieved by utilizing the lifting action of the vertical circulating lifting device in each column of the vertical circulating series garage 1.

[0078] Furthermore, such as Figures 11 to 14 As shown, a lifting mechanism 80 can be added to the side shifter 20. The lifting mechanism 80 is installed on the side shifter bracket 21. The main structure and lifting mechanism are basically the same as those of a manual hydraulic pallet truck, giving the side shifter 20 the function of lifting the vehicle itself. The lifting mechanism 80 includes: a lifting frame 81, a lifting cylinder 82, a power torsion arm 83, a fixed hinge seat 84, a push rod 85, a front support arm 86, a second pin 87, a front support wheel 88, and a front support plate 89. The lifting frame 81 consists of two forks 811 and a vertical longitudinal connecting frame 812 connecting the two forks 811 at the rear. The two forks are placed vertically. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 82 abuts against the upper crossbeam of the "「"-shaped connecting frame 812. The lower end of the cylinder barrel is mounted and supported at both ends of the rear end bracket crossbeam 212 of the lateral shift bracket 21. The power torsion arm 83 consists of a first pin 831, a long lever arm 832, and a short lever arm 833. The two first pins 831 are respectively inserted longitudinally into the hinge sleeves on both sides of the vertical frame of the "「"-shaped connecting frame. One end hole of the long lever arm 832 and the short lever arm 833 are keyed onto the first pin 831. The other end hole of the long lever arm 832 is hinged to the fixed hinge seat 84 mounted on the rear end bracket crossbeam 212. The other end hole of the short lever arm 833 is also keyed onto the first pin 831. One end hole is hinged to the rear end of the push rod 85; two front support arms 86 are hinged to the front ends of the two forks of the lifting frame 81 via the second pin 87. The rear upper cantilever end of the front support arm 86 is hinged to the other front end of the push rod 85. A front support wheel 88 is installed on the front lower cantilever end of each front support arm 86. The lower circumferential support is on the front support plate 89 on the outer side of the front end of the bracket side beam 211 installed on the side shift bracket 21. After the two lifting cylinders 82 are simultaneously supplied with pressure oil by the hydraulic power unit 271 equipped with dual control valves, their piston rods rise synchronously, driving the rear of the lifting frame 81 to rise. One end of the long lever arm 832 is constrained by the fixed hinge seat 84, causing the power torsion arm 83 to rotate clockwise around the lifting frame 81. The clockwise rotating short lever arm 833 will push the push rod 85 forward, and the push rod 85 will push the front support lever arm 86 to rotate counterclockwise around the second pin shaft 87, causing the front support wheel 88 to deflect backward. With the support of the front support plate 89, the front end of the fork on the lifting frame 81 is lifted up, and finally the lifting frame 81 can lift the vehicle horizontally. At this time, four anti-slip buffer blocks 213 are installed on the upper surface of the two horizontal forks on the lifting frame 81, located in the area of ​​the four support points of the vehicle chassis.

[0079] Furthermore, such as Figures 15 to 20As shown, the open-top comb-tooth basket 10 and the side shifter 20 can also carry a split-type charging device 90, that is, a charging parking space is set on the three-dimensional parking rack 200. The split-type charging device 90 is a charging transition power connection device that can be transported with the vehicle and placed on both sides of the vehicle platform of the open-top comb-tooth basket 10. The split-type charging device 90 includes: a follower plug 91, a cable connection 92, a follower plug 93, a first positioning seat 94, a plug-in bracket 95, a cantilever fork 96, a second positioning seat 97, and an output charging plug 98; the follower plug 91 and the follower socket 93 are connected by the cable connection 92, and the follower plug 91 will plug in the socket. A manual suction cup that can be attached to the vehicle body or a hook that can be temporarily hung on a handle of the vehicle is installed in the middle section of the cable connection 92 on the vehicle's charging socket to prevent the cable connection 92 from being too long and dragging on the vehicle platform, thus hindering synchronous transportation with the vehicle. The follower socket 93 is installed at the lower end of the vertical cylinder below the Y-shaped plug-in bracket 95. This vertical cylinder can be inserted from top to bottom into the vertical hole of the first positioning seat 94 installed on the side of the vehicle platform of the lifting vehicle, and the follower socket 93 is in a suspended state. Pulling the cable connection 92 can cause the plug-in bracket 95 to rotate freely 180° horizontally on the first positioning seat 94. To accommodate different locations of charging sockets on electric vehicles, such as at the front or rear of the vehicle; the top of the notch in the Y-shape of the plug-in bracket 95 has an electric pin 951, which is normally open. Once the follower plug 91 is inserted into the vehicle's charging socket, the split charging device 90 is powered on, and the electric pin 951 extends laterally to close the opening at the top of the Y-shaped plug-in bracket 95; the cantilever fork 96 is installed below the lift frame 81. When the lift mechanism 80 is moved laterally by the side shifter 20, the cantilever fork 96 also laterally inserts into the closed opening at the top of the Y-shape of the plug-in bracket 95. Simultaneously with the lift mechanism 80 lifting the vehicle, the cantilever fork 96... 6 also lifts the split charging device 90 together, and the lowest follower socket 93 is higher than the upper surface of the first positioning seat 94, so that the side shifter 20 can move the car that needs to be charged and the split charging device 90 into the parking space together. The charging pile is fixedly installed in the empty position of each charging parking space. After the split charging device 90 is moved into the parking space, the output charging plug 98 of the charging pile is fixed by the second positioning seat 97. At this time, the follower socket 93 is directly below the lifting mechanism 80. When the lifting mechanism 80 descends, the follower socket 93 can be aligned with the output charging plug 98 of the charging pile and inserted, that is, the vehicle battery is officially connected to the charging pile and charging begins.

[0080] When a vehicle entering the open comb-tooth basket 10 does not require charging, the split charging device 90 is not powered on, the opening above the Y-shaped plug-in bracket 95 is not closed, and the plug-in bracket 95 cannot be lifted by the laterally inserted cantilever fork 96. At this time, the height of the follower plug 91 and cable connection 92 placed on the side of the basket is also lower than the height when the vehicle chassis is moved out, so the split charging device 90 cannot be moved laterally.

[0081] In addition, such as Figure 21 As shown, since the split-type charging device 90 is placed on the same side of each basket car platform in the vertical circulation garage, the positions of the cantilever forks 96 installed on the lifting mechanism 80 in the fixed parking spaces on the left and right sides are different. One side is installed below the fork tip of the lifting frame 81, and the other side is installed below the vertical connecting frame of the lifting frame 81, so that both sides can reach the split-type charging device 90 on the same side of each basket car platform. Similarly, the corresponding internal second positioning seat 97 of the charging pile output charging plug 98 is installed and fixed below the respective cantilever fork 96. When the vehicle needs to be taken out, the lifting mechanism 80 first lifts it up, and at the same time the cantilever fork 96 moves from the charging pile to the parking space. When the follow-up socket 93 is unplugged from the charging plug 98 of the charging pile, regardless of whether the vehicle is fully charged, the vehicle battery is detached from the charging pile and moved by the side shifter 20 from the fixed parking space to above the basket vehicle platform. Then the lifting mechanism 80 descends and parks the vehicle on the basket vehicle platform. At the same time, the descending cantilever fork 96 inserts the plug-in bracket 95 into the first positioning seat 94. The side shifter 20, along with the lifting mechanism 80 and the cantilever fork 96, returns to the fixed parking space. Then the basket vehicle platform lowers the vehicle to the bottom floor. The driver unplugs the follow-up plug 91 from the vehicle charging socket, removes the suction cup or hook, and puts them back in the original storage location on the vehicle platform. The driver can then drive the vehicle out.

[0082] In addition, if the vehicle entering the lifting platform 10 does not need to be charged, the driver will not operate the split charging device 90. The split charging device 90 is placed on one side of the lifting platform 10. In the longitudinal space of the vehicle's trajectory, all components on the split charging device 90 must not obstruct or interfere with the vehicle. If the vehicle needs to move laterally, all components on the split charging device 90 must not obstruct or interfere with the lateral output of the vehicle's lateral shifter, nor with the lateral movement of the vehicle.

[0083] The beneficial effects of this invention are: using the simplest split-type charging device, 50% of the parking spaces in a vertical circulation parking garage system can be charged in a three-dimensional manner, solving the current problems of difficulty and scarcity of charging in three-dimensional parking garages.

[0084] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the tunnel transport line 3 functions to horizontally transport and retrieve vehicles within the tunnel of the automated parking garage. It includes: a transport trolley 31, a high-level roller conveyor 32, a lifting roller conveyor 33, a low-level roller conveyor 34, a lateral movement device 35, and a parking platform 36. The transport trolley 31 itself is unpowered; its movements are driven by the power of the high-level roller conveyor 32, the lifting roller conveyor 33, the low-level roller conveyor 34, and the lateral movement device 35. Two transport trolleys 31 at different vertical positions can pass each other vertically without obstruction, enabling unimpeded movement throughout the entire tunnel of the automated parking garage. The transport trolley 31 can accommodate multiple transport vehicles and can move back and forth simultaneously without obstructing each other. Parking areas for vehicles entering and exiting the garage are set up on the ground beyond both ends of the garage parking rack. The separation of the entry and exit areas ensures that vehicles entering and exiting the garage do not obstruct each other. Multiple parking platforms 36 are installed throughout the entire aisle and at both ends of the parking area. The transport trolley 31 and the parking platform 36 use a comb structure to transfer vehicles to each other. The number of each is set up in the entire aisle depends on the site area and the number of parking spaces in the garage, with the aim of realizing rapid vehicle entry and exit, reducing driver waiting time and improving garage utilization efficiency.

[0085] like Figures 21 to 29 As shown, the tunnel transport line 3 includes a transport trolley 31, a high-level roller conveyor 32, a lifting roller conveyor 33, a low-level roller conveyor 34, a lateral movement device 35, and a parking platform 36.

[0086] The transport trolley 31 adopts a traditional roller conveyor transport method, which includes: a trolley frame 311, two pairs of telescopic comb frames 312, four roller running plates 313, and four roller running plates 314. That is, the roller conveyor transport method is that the roller running plates 313 and roller running plates 314 are used in pairs. Figures 28 to 31As shown, below the roller running plate 313 is a downward-facing right-angled V-shaped iron block 01. A row of rolling bearings 02, forming an angle with the longitudinal axis, is installed on each of the inclined surfaces on both sides of the V-shape. All the rolling bearings are supported by a rotating smooth roller. Simultaneously, a row of parallel rollers 04, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, is installed on the grooved strip 03 below the flat plate of the roller running plate 314. All the parallel rollers 04 are supported on a smooth raceway parallel to the roller. The trolley frame 311 is a horizontal rectangular steel structure frame with openings on both sides... The device features four lateral openings, each with horizontal transverse tracks 3111 on both sides. A vertical longitudinal slot 3112 is located at the center of each lateral opening. A stop wheel 3113 is installed at the center of each end of the horizontal steel frame. These stop wheels 3113 can be made of impact-resistant cushioning rubber. The telescopic comb frame 312 includes two horizontal U-shaped steel structures: an upper layer of cantilever comb teeth and a lower layer of a cantilevered flat plate moving frame 3121 and four sets of lateral rollers 3122. A scissor lift mechanism 3123 has two lateral rollers 3122 mounted on the outer sides of each of the two movable frames 3121. One movable frame 3121 is inserted into each of the four lateral openings of the transverse rails 3111 on the trolley frame 311, causing the lateral rollers 3122 to roll along the lateral sides of the horizontal rails 3111. Between two movable frames 3121 symmetrically arranged at the same transverse position, a central pin of the scissor lift mechanism 3123 is vertically inserted into a longitudinal elongated slot 3112. The scissor lift mechanism 3123 is horizontally mounted. At the center of the trolley frame 311, the holes and rollers at both ends of the scissor bar on the scissor mechanism 3123 are connected to the support holes and slide grooves on the left and right telescopic comb frames 312 respectively. Under the action of the scissor mechanism 3123, the telescopic comb frames 312 on both sides can move synchronously and symmetrically. Below the moving frame 3121 of each pair of telescopic comb frames 312 on both sides, a pair of rotating roller running plates 313 and a roller running plate 314 are installed respectively, forming a downward "running support surface" that can be extended in the width direction.

[0087] The high-level roller conveyor 32 includes: a high-level frame 221, a first roller 322, a first raceway 323, a first chain drive 324, and a first drive unit 325. The high-level frame 221 has two longitudinally parallel elevated supports. The horizontal distance between the two elevated supports is approximately equal to the width of the conveying trolley 31 after the telescopic comb frames 312 on both sides are extended. The first roller 322 is installed at the top of one elevated support, and the first raceway 323 is installed at the top of the other elevated support, forming a high-level "roller" conveyor. The "roller external running line" is connected to the first drive device 32 via the first chain drive 324 at the end of the first roller 322 shaft. A high-level roller conveyor 32 is divided into several sections and installed longitudinally and intermittently on the roadway transport line 3. After the telescopic comb frames 312 on both sides of the trolley frame 311 extend, the "external running support surface" formed below them with a retractable width will be placed on the high-level "roller external running line" for operation. The high-level roller conveyor 32 is installed on the ground and is the drive device for transporting vehicles.

[0088] The low-position roller conveyor 34 includes: a low-position frame 341, a third roller 342, a third raceway 343, a third chain drive 344, and a third drive unit 345. The low-position frame 341 has two longitudinally parallel low-platform supports. The horizontal distance between the two low-platform supports is approximately equal to the width of the conveying trolley 31 after the retracted telescopic comb frames 312 on both sides. The third roller 342 is installed at the top of one low-platform support, and the third raceway 343 is installed at the top of the other low-platform support, forming a low-position "inner roller conveyor line." The end of the third roller 342 shaft is connected to the third drive unit 345 via the third chain drive 344. The low-position roller conveyor 34 is a continuous conveyor that is installed longitudinally and uninterruptedly on the roadway transport line 3. After the telescopic comb frames 312 on both sides of the trolley frame 311 retract and descend, the fixed narrow-width "inner running support surface" installed below both ends of the trolley frame 311 will be placed on the low-position "inner roller transport line" and run. The low-position roller conveyor 34 is a drive unit installed on the ground to transport the empty trolley back.

[0089] The lifting roller conveyor 33 includes: a lifting frame 331, a second roller 332, a second track 333, a second chain drive 334, a second drive unit 335, a high-position stopper 336, and a low-position stopper 337. The lifting roller conveyor 33 is installed below each bottom-level open comb-tooth hanging basket 10 and each parking platform 36, which is also the dividing section of the high-position roller conveyor 32. The lifting frame 331 has two parallel lifting supports with scissor lift platforms installed below. One support is equipped with... A second roller 332 is installed on one section, and a second track 333 is installed on another support. When the lifting frame 331 is raised to its highest point, the two ends of the second roller 332 and the second track 333 are smoothly connected to the first tracks 323 on the high-level roller conveyors 32 at both ends. In this way, the lifting roller conveyor 33 and the high-level roller conveyor 32 are connected in series at intervals to form a continuous and uninterrupted high-level "roller external running line". The shaft end of each second roller 332 is connected via a second chain drive 334. Connected to the second drive device 335, after the telescopic comb teeth on the transport trolley 31 extend laterally to both sides, the "external running support surface" formed below them, which has an expandable width, will be placed on the "roller external running line" at the higher position and run on it. The high-position stopper 336 and the low-position stopper 337 are respectively installed at the lateral high positions at both ends of the lifting frame 331 and at the central ground position. When the high-position stopper 336 extends upward, it can just block the lower suspension installed on one side of the telescopic comb tooth frame 312 extending from the trolley frame 311. At the end of the rotating roller running plate 313, the high-position running transport trolley 31 stops. When the low-position stopper 337 extends upward, it can just block the stop wheel 3113 at the center of both ends of the trolley frame 311, and then the low-position running transport trolley 31 stops. The high-position stopper 336 and the low-position stopper 337 respectively realize the stopping and positioning functions of the high-position and low-position running transport trolley 31, so that the crossbeam of the transport trolley 31 bracket can be vertically aligned with the gap of the comb teeth on the open comb basket 10 or parking platform 36.

[0090] The beneficial effect is that the high-level roller conveyor 32 and the lifting roller conveyor 33 are connected at intervals to form a high-level roller conveyor line, which is responsible for transporting the trolleys 31 that carry vehicles. Among them, the lifting roller conveyor 33 is installed directly below the parking platform 36 and is responsible for lifting the trolleys 31. It not only completes its function of transferring vehicles, but also realizes the function of transferring the trolleys 31 between the high-level and low-level roller conveyor lines. This makes the trolleys 31 small and unpowered, and allows for the deployment of as many trolleys 31 as possible in the garage system, resulting in faster vehicle entry and exit speeds and less waiting time for drivers.

[0091] like Figure 29As shown, the transverse movement device 35 includes: a transverse movement frame 351, a transverse movement chain mechanism 352, a transverse movement deflector 353, and deflector fork channel steel 354; the transverse movement frame 351 is transversely installed in the middle of each lifting roller conveyor 33, and close to the longitudinal centerline; two transverse movement chain mechanisms 352 are installed at both ends of the transverse movement frame 351; at least three or more deflector fork channel steels 354 are longitudinally straddled on the drive chain at equal intervals, the distance being equal to the transverse movement distance of the telescopic comb frame 312, with two of them located on the upper chain segment; the transverse movement deflector 353 is installed on each On the lower surface of the two corners of the cantilever plate root of the two telescopic comb frames 312 on one side of the trolley frame 311, when the low-position transport trolley 31 extends on the telescopic comb frame 312, the running trajectory of the four horizontal shifting wheels 353 on one side in a straight line will overlap with the longitudinal groove of the shift fork channel steel 354 located on the outer side above the chain. When the telescopic comb frame 312 retracts, the running trajectory of the horizontal shifting wheels 353 will overlap with the longitudinal groove of the shift fork channel steel 354 located on the inner side above the chain. The horizontal shifting device 35 is a drive device installed on the ground to push the comb teeth on the transport trolley 31 to extend and retract laterally.

[0092] The beneficial effect is that the left and right extension and retraction of the telescopic comb frame 312 on the low-position unpowered transport trolley 31 is driven by the ground-mounted lateral movement device 35 through the shift fork channel steel 354; after the telescopic comb frame 312 extends, the transport trolley 31 can be raised and run on the high-position "outer support surface of the rotating roller". After the telescopic comb frame 312 retracts, the transport trolley 31 will run on the low-position "inner support surface of the rotating roller". In this way, the external dimensions of the transport trolley 31 in the low-position running state are smaller than the internal dimensions of the middle space below the transport trolley 31 in the high-position running state. The transport trolley 31 running on the low-position rotating roller conveyor 34 can pass under the high-position rotating roller conveyor 32 or the lifting rotating roller conveyor 33 after being raised; solving the long-standing problem in multi-level parking garages where the return of empty transport equipment will block normal transport vehicles from entering the garage.

[0093] The parking platform 36 includes: four fixed comb racks 361 and two fixed pedals 362. The fixed comb racks 361 are cantilevered comb-shaped steel structures that can be interlocked with the movable frame 3121. The fixed pedals 362 are steel plates with anti-slip textures on the upper surface. A fixed comb rack 361 is symmetrically installed on each cantilever below the four tire positions of the vehicle, and a fixed pedal 362 is installed between the two fixed comb racks 361 on each side longitudinally. The parking platform 36 is installed on the ground outside both ends of the vertically circulating series garage 1 and serves as a platform for drivers to exchange vehicles with the garage. Depending on the actual capacity requirements of the garage, different numbers of parking platforms 36 are placed outside both ends. The beneficial effect is that the more parking platforms 36 there are, the less time drivers spend waiting outside the garage, thus maintaining the required storage and retrieval speed of the garage.

[0094] A parking operation procedure for a vertical circulation aisle-type automated parking garage:

[0095] S1. The vehicle drives onto the parking platform 36 and is accurately positioned. All four wheels are parked on the comb platform of the parking platform 36. The driver gets out of the vehicle and presses the "Enter Parking" button. The electrical hardware system scans the license plate of the vehicle and stores it in the intelligent monitoring software, and starts timing.

[0096] All devices on S2 and the tunnel transport line 3 are in their initial positions. The intelligent monitoring software allocates empty storage spaces and issues an "entry" command to the electrical control software.

[0097] S3. The lifting roller conveyor 33 under the parking platform 36 descends to the bottom. The low-position stopper 337 at the rear extends and stops a certain empty transport trolley 31. Then, the low-position stopper 337 at the front extends to prevent other trolleys from entering the area. At this moment, the transverse shift wheel 353 installed below the telescopic comb frame 312 has been longitudinally inserted into the groove of the inner side shift fork channel steel 354 above the transverse device 35. The transverse device 35 is activated, pushing all the telescopic comb frames 312 of the transport trolley 31 to extend. Then the lifting roller conveyor 33 rises, carrying the transport trolley 31 to lift and support the vehicle. After the wheels leave the plane of the parking platform 36, the second drive device 335 is activated. The transport trolley 31 carrying the vehicle runs longitudinally in the vertical circulation series garage 1 on the "roller outer running line". When it reaches the car platform of the assigned open comb basket 10, it is blocked and stopped by the high-position stopper 336 that has been extended in advance at the front of the section.

[0098] S4. The lifting roller conveyor 33 descends to the bottom, the vehicle tires disengage from the telescopic comb frame 312 of the transport trolley 31, and are vertically transferred to the support of the open comb basket 10. When the unloaded transport trolley 31 descends to the support of the low-position "inner conveyor line of the roller", it is also blocked by the low-position stop 337 in the forward extended state. At the same time, the transverse shift wheel 353 installed below the telescopic comb frame 312 falls vertically into the groove of the outer shift fork channel steel 354 above the transverse shift device 35. The transverse shift device 35 is activated, pushing all the telescopic comb frames 312 of the transport trolley 31 to retract to the initial position. Then, the low-position stop 337 in front of this section retracts. The unloaded transport trolley 31 returns on the low-position roller conveyor 34.

[0099] S5. At the same time, the vertical circulation lifting device of the column is activated, and the open comb basket 10 with the stored vehicles rises and stops at the same horizontal level outside the allocated empty fixed storage space.

[0100] S6. The thrust device 27 on the side shifter 20 of the fixed parking space is activated. The hydraulic power unit 271 drives the side shift cylinder 272 to push the side shift bracket 21 to fully extend to the underside of the vehicle chassis. Then, the vertical circulation lifting device of this row is activated again, so that the open comb basket 10 is lowered slightly (or if the side shifter 20 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 80, the hydraulic power unit 271 with dual control valves drives the lifting cylinder 82 to raise the lifting frame 81). The wheels are disengaged from the comb teeth of the open comb basket 10, and the vehicle is vertically transferred to the side shift bracket 21 for support. Then, the side shifter 20 moves in the opposite direction, and the side shift bracket 21 moves the vehicle laterally into the fixed parking space for parking, completing the entire vehicle parking operation.

[0101] like Figure 30 As shown, further, in cases where a vertical circulating series parking garage 1 is blocked at one end by an unremovable building, preventing vehicles from exiting normally, a separate exit method is used to address this issue. Specifically, a new parallel conveyor line 3 is installed on the bottom row of parking spaces of the fixed side-shifting parking rack 2 on one side. This serves as a dedicated conveyor line for outgoing vehicles. Unlike the original conveyor line 3, the high-level roller conveyor 32 is intermittently installed below all parking spaces on the bottom row, and neither the lifting roller conveyor 33 nor the lateral movement device 35 is installed. Additionally... A vehicle turning machine 50 is installed between the ends of the two blocked aisle transport lines 3. The vehicle turning machine 50 picks up and lifts the vehicle from the exit parking platform 36 on the central aisle transport line 3 by forking the vehicle chassis, and then rotates it 180° to transfer it to the input parking platform 36 on the dedicated vehicle output aisle transport line 3, thus realizing the function of both moving and turning the vehicle. Both transport lines have their own empty car return facilities, maintaining the function of continuous transportation, storage or retrieval of vehicles in the vertical circulation aisle-type three-dimensional parking system.

[0102] like Figures 31 to 32As shown, the comb-type turning machine 50 includes: rack and pinion forks 51, turning machine gears 52, turning machine sprockets 53, chains 54, telescopic rod motors 55, telescopic sliders 56, rotating disks 57, rotary motors 58, and scissor lifts 59. The base of the scissor lift 59 is fixed at the centerline between the output end of the aisle transport line 3 and the input end of the vehicle exit line 4. The rotary motor 58 is vertically mounted on the lifting platform of the scissor lift 59. The rotating disk 57 is mounted on the output shaft of the rotary motor 58. Two rack and pinion forks 51, with a length greater than the width of the vehicle, are inserted into the grooves of two telescopic sliders 56 and are installed parallel and symmetrically on the rotating disk 57. Each rack and pinion fork 51 meshes with two turning machine gears 52 mounted on the rotating disk 57 via pins. A turning machine sprocket 52 is mounted on the shaft of each of the two turning machine gears 52 on one side. 3. After the output shaft of the telescopic rod motor 55 is fitted with a turning machine sprocket 53 and a turning machine gear 52 respectively, it is inverted and vertically installed on the rotating disk 57. The lower turning machine gear 52 meshes with the two turning machine gears 52 on the first layer at the same time. The upper sprocket is connected to two sprockets on the other side, and a turning machine sprocket 53 is used to surround and close the connection. In this way, driven by the telescopic rod motor 55, the two symmetrically installed rack forks 51 can move horizontally in one direction in sync, and move from one end to the other end by 180°. The length of the forks extending in both directions is greater than the width of the vehicle chassis. The horizontal distance between the two rack forks 51 is equal to the longitudinal distance of the four support points of the vehicle chassis. Therefore, by rising through the scissor lift 59, the two rack forks 51 can pick up the chassis of the vehicle, and then the rotating motor 58 rotates 180°.

[0103] The beneficial effect is that the comb-tooth turning machine 50, through a set of gears and a chain, drives in the same direction, enabling the two rack and pinion forks 51 to pass parallel and straight between the two aisle transport lines 3. By lifting and lowering the scissor lift, the vehicle is picked up, and then the vehicle is turned around by rotating the rotary motor 180°. This not only solves the problem of one end of the site being blocked, but also enables vehicles to turn around when leaving the warehouse, and facilitates and speeds up the vehicle's exit from the warehouse.

[0104] In embodiments one and two, the above are merely some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The split-type charging device (90) is a charging transition power connection device that can be transported with the vehicle and placed on both sides of the vehicle platform of the open-end comb basket (10). The split-type charging device (90) includes: a follower plug (91), a cable connection (92), a follower socket (93), a first positioning seat (94), a plug-in bracket (95), a cantilever fork (96), and a second positioning seat (97). The output charging plug (98) and the follower plug (91) and follower socket (93) are connected by a cable (92). The follower plug (91) is plugged into the vehicle's charging socket. The follower socket (93) is installed at the lower end of a vertical cylinder below the plug-in bracket (95). This vertical cylinder can be inserted from top to bottom into the vertical hole of the first positioning seat (94) installed on the side of the vehicle platform of the lifting vehicle. The follower socket (93) is in a suspended state. The top of the upper notch of the plug-in bracket (95) has an electric pin (951), which is normally in the open state. Once the follower plug (91) is inserted into the vehicle... After the vehicle's charging socket is plugged in, the split charging device (90) is powered on, and the electric pin (951) extends laterally to close the opening above the plug-in bracket (95). The cantilever fork (96) is installed below the lift frame (81). When the lifting mechanism (80) is moved laterally by the lateral shifter (20), the cantilever fork (96) also inserts laterally into the closed opening above the plug-in bracket (95).

The output charging plug (98) of the charging pile is fixed by the second positioning seat (97) after the split charging device (90) is moved into the parking space. At this time, the follower socket (93) is directly below the lifting mechanism (80). When the lifting mechanism (80) descends, the follower socket (93) can be aligned with the output charging plug (98) of the charging pile and inserted. That is, the vehicle battery is officially connected to the charging pile and starts charging.

6. The vertical circulation lane-type automated parking system according to claim 5, characterized in that: The split-type charging device (90) is placed on the same side of each basket car platform in the vertical circulation garage. Therefore, the positions of the cantilever forks (96) installed on the lifting mechanism (80) in the fixed parking spaces on the left and right sides are different. One side is installed below the fork tip of the lifting frame (81), and the other side is installed below the vertical connecting frame of the lifting frame (81). This allows both sides to pick up the split-type charging device (90) on the same side of each basket car platform. Similarly, the corresponding internal second positioning seat (97) of the charging pile output charging plug (98) is installed and fixedly installed below each cantilever fork (96). When the vehicle needs to be taken out, the lifting mechanism (80) lifts it up first, and at the same time the cantilever fork (93) moves from the charging pile. The follower socket (93) is unplugged from the output charging plug (98). Regardless of whether the vehicle is fully charged, the vehicle battery is detached from the charging pile and moved by the side shifter (20) from the fixed parking space to the top of the basket car platform. Then the lifting mechanism (80) descends and parks the vehicle on the basket car platform. At the same time, the descending cantilever fork (96) inserts the plug-in bracket (95) into the first positioning seat (94). The side shifter (20) moves the lifting mechanism (80) and the cantilever fork (96) back to the fixed parking space. Then the basket car platform lowers the vehicle to the bottom floor. The driver unplugs the follower plug (91) from the vehicle charging socket, removes the suction cup or hook, and puts them back in the original storage place on the car platform. The driver can then drive the vehicle out.

7. The vertical circulation lane-type automated parking system according to any one of claims 1 to 6, characterized in that: The tunnel transport line (3) includes: a transport trolley (31), a high-level roller conveyor (32), a lifting roller conveyor (33), a low-level roller conveyor (34), a lateral movement device (35), and a parking platform (36). The low-position roller conveyor (34) is a continuous conveyor that is installed longitudinally and uninterruptedly on the roadway conveying line (3). The low-position roller conveyor (34) is a drive device installed on the ground to transport the empty trolley back. The high-level roller conveyor (32) and the lifting roller conveyor (33) are connected at intervals to form a high-level roller conveyor line. The high-level roller conveyor (32) is installed on the ground and is a drive device for transporting fully loaded vehicles. The lifting roller conveyor (33) is installed directly below the parking platform (36) or the comb-shaped vehicle platform that carries the vehicle. It is also responsible for lifting the transport vehicle (31), which not only completes its vertical transmission function for the vehicle, but also drives the transport vehicle (31) carrying the vehicle to run longitudinally. It also realizes the function of vertically transferring the transport vehicle (31) between the high-level roller conveyor line and the low-level roller conveyor (34). The transport trolley (31) itself has no power, but is driven longitudinally by the high-level rotary roller conveyor line and the low-level rotary roller conveyor (34), and is driven to move up and down by the lifting rotary roller conveyor (33). The two transport trolleys (31) at high and low vertical positions can pass through each other without obstacles, so that the transport trolleys (31) of multiple transport vehicles can be placed in the same lane and can run back and forth simultaneously without blocking each other, thus realizing the unobstructed return of empty vehicles and realizing the continuous operation function of the garage system.

8. The vertical circulation lane-type automated parking system according to claim 7, characterized in that, The transport trolley (31) includes: a transport trolley frame (311), two pairs of telescopic comb frames (312), four rotating roller running plates (313) and four roller running plates (314). The transport trolley frame (311) has four symmetrical lateral notches on the left and right sides in the middle of the transverse section. A transverse track is provided in each of the lateral notches. The two pairs of telescopic comb frames (312) are respectively inserted into the four lateral notches and slidably connected to the transverse track. Each pair of telescopic comb frames (312) is connected in the middle by a scissor mechanism. Each scissor mechanism drives the telescopic comb frames (312) on the left and right sides to extend and retract symmetrically at the same time. The rotating roller running plate (313) is a transmission component that transmits longitudinal running force to the transport trolley frame (311), and the roller running plate (314) is a horizontal support and longitudinal rolling running component of the transport trolley frame (311). One rotating roller running plate (313) is installed below the two telescopic comb frames (312) on one longitudinal side and below the two longitudinal ends of the transport trolley frame (311). One roller running plate (314) is installed below the two telescopic comb frames (312) on the other longitudinal side and below the two longitudinal ends of the transport trolley frame (311). The two rotating roller running plates (313) and two roller running plates (314) below each pair of telescopic comb frames (312) will form a horizontally telescopic "external running support surface". When the two pairs of telescopic comb frames (312) extend and the transport trolley (31) is raised, it means that the transport trolley (31) will vertically receive the vehicle through the extended telescopic comb frames (312), and at this time, it will be transported on the high-level rotating roller transport line; when the transport trolley (31) is lowered, it means that the transport trolley (31) will vertically transfer the vehicle out, and the transport trolley will be transported out. When the trolley (31) is unloaded, the two rotating roller running plates (313) and two roller running plates (314) below the two ends of the trolley frame (311) form a fixed narrow width "inner running support surface", which will support the return run on the low-position rotating roller conveyor (34). At this time, the telescopic comb frame (312) is retracted. At this moment, the lateral space dimension below the high-position trolley (31) is larger than the lateral external dimension of the low-position trolley (31), realizing the function that the two vertically upper and lower trolleys (31) can pass through each other.

9. The parking operation steps of any one of the vertical circulation aisle type automated parking garages according to claims 1 to 8 are as follows: S1. The vehicle drives onto the parking platform (36) for entry into the warehouse, accurately positions itself, and all four wheels are parked on the comb platform of the parking platform (36). The driver gets off the vehicle and leaves, presses the "Enter the warehouse" button, and the electrical hardware system scans the license plate of the vehicle and stores it in the intelligent monitoring software, and starts timing. S2. All devices in the tunnel transport line (3) are in their initial positions. The intelligent monitoring software allocates empty storage spaces and issues an "entry" command to the electrical control software. S3. The lifting roller conveyor (33) under the parking platform (36) descends to the bottom. The low-position stopper (337) at the rear extends and stops a certain empty transport trolley (31). Then, the low-position stopper (337) at the front extends to prevent other trolleys from entering the area. At this moment, the transverse shifting wheel (353) installed below the telescopic comb frame (312) has been longitudinally inserted into the groove of the inner shifting fork channel steel (354) above the transverse shifting device (35). The transverse shifting device (35) is activated, pushing the transport trolley ( All the telescopic comb frames (312) of 31) extend, and then the lifting roller conveyor (33) rises, carrying the transport trolley (31) to lift and support the vehicle. After the wheels leave the parking platform (36) plane, the second drive device (335) starts, and the transport trolley (31) carrying the vehicle runs longitudinally in the vertical circulation series garage (1) on the "roller outer running line". When it reaches the car platform of the assigned open comb basket (10), it is blocked and stopped by the high-position stopper (336) that extends in advance in front of the section. S4. The lifting roller conveyor (33) descends to the bottom, the wheels disengage from the telescopic comb frame (312) of the transport trolley (31), and are vertically transferred to the support of the open comb basket (10). When the unloaded transport trolley (31) descends to the support of the low-position "inner conveyor line of the roller", it is also blocked by the low-position stopper (337) in the forward extended state. At the same time, the transverse shift wheel (353) installed below the telescopic comb frame (312) falls vertically into the groove of the outer fork channel steel (354) above the transverse device (35). The transverse device (35) is activated, pushing all the telescopic comb frames (312) of the transport trolley (31) to retract to the initial position. Then, the low-position stopper (337) in front of this section retracts. The unloaded transport trolley (31) performs the return run on the low-position roller conveyor (34). S5. At the same time, the vertical circulation lifting device of the column is activated, and the open comb basket (10) carries the stored vehicle up and stops at the same level outside the allocated empty fixed storage space. S6. The second positioning seat 97 of the side shifter (20) of the fixed parking space is activated. The hydraulic power unit (271) drives the side shift cylinder (272) to push the side shift bracket (21) to fully extend to the underside of the vehicle chassis. Then, the vertical circulation lifting device of this column is activated again, so that the open comb basket (10) is lowered slightly. Or, if the side shifter (20) is equipped with a lifting mechanism 80, the hydraulic power unit (271) with dual control valves drives the lifting cylinder (82) to raise the lifting frame (81), disengaging the wheels from the comb teeth of the open comb basket (10). The vehicle is vertically transferred to the side shift bracket (21) for support. Then, the side shifter (20) moves in the opposite direction, and the side shift bracket (21) moves the vehicle laterally into the fixed parking space for parking, completing the entire vehicle parking operation.

10. A vertical circulation lane-type automated parking system with separate lanes for entering and exiting vehicles, characterized in that: On one side of the fixed-side transfer rack (2), a new lane transport line (3) parallel to the original lane transport line (3) is installed on the bottom row of storage spaces as a dedicated transport line for outbound vehicles. Unlike the original lane transport line (3), the high-level roller conveyor (32) is intermittently installed below all the storage spaces on the bottom row, and the lifting roller conveyor (33) and the lateral movement device (35) are not installed. In addition, a device for moving and turning vehicles is installed between the ends of the two lane transport lines (3). The vehicle turning machine (50) is a vehicle turning machine that picks up and lifts the vehicle from the parking platform (36) on the central aisle transport line (3) by forking the vehicle chassis. Then it rotates 180° and transfers the vehicle to the input parking platform (36) on the aisle transport line (3) dedicated to vehicle output, thus realizing the function of both moving and turning the vehicle. Both transport lines have their own empty car return facilities, realizing the continuous transportation and retrieval of vehicles in the vertical circulation aisle-type three-dimensional garage system.
