Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of tower garages, and more particularly to a comb-tooth exchange tower garage. Background Technology

[0002] Tower parking garages are vertically designed parking garages that make full use of vertical parking space, reducing the garage's footprint and allowing more cars to be parked within the same footprint. For this reason, tower parking garages are becoming increasingly popular and are being used more and more frequently.

[0003] Currently, common tower parking garages generally include a garage frame, a lifting mechanism, and multiple lateral parking spaces. The garage frame has a lifting channel, and the multiple lateral parking spaces are divided into two groups, located on either side of the lifting channel. The lifting mechanism moves up and down within the lifting channel to move to one side of a lateral parking space, exchanging cars with that space to complete the parking or retrieval process. The parking process involves: the car driving into the lifting mechanism; some garages also have a turntable to rotate the car 180°, aligning the car's direction. The lifting mechanism then raises the car to the side and above one of the lateral parking spaces, which moves to below the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism then lowers, placing the car on top of the lateral parking space. The lateral parking space then moves away from the lifting channel and back to its original position, completing the process of transporting the car to the lateral parking space. The retrieval process is similar to the parking process.

[0004] However, existing tower parking garages only allow one of two processes: parking or retrieving a car. Retrieving a car cannot be done while it is being parked, and vice versa. This results in low efficiency and long waiting times for users. For taller tower parking garages, the vertical travel of the lifting mechanism is often longer, leading to lower efficiency in both parking and retrieval.

[0005] In summary, how to provide a tower parking garage technology solution with high vehicle storage and retrieval efficiency is an urgent problem to be solved in the current related technical field. Summary of the Invention

In some application scenarios, the storage and retrieval processes of the first and second lifting comb tooth frames can be performed simultaneously, thus improving efficiency and reducing user waiting time. For example, in one application scenario, while the second lifting comb tooth frame is waiting to retrieve a vehicle, the first lifting comb tooth frame can pass through the first notch from bottom to top, moving above the first lifting comb tooth frame to retrieve the vehicle from the first transverse comb tooth frame. This allows the retrieval processes of both the first and second lifting comb tooth frames to proceed simultaneously. In another application scenario, the first lifting comb toother moves a car to the first lateral comb tooth group. While waiting to exchange cars, the second lifting comb toother can still move another car to the second lateral comb tooth group and exchange cars with the second lifting comb toother of the second lateral comb tooth group.

[0055] Please see Figures 1 to 13 This embodiment provides a comb-tooth exchange type tower, including a tower frame, a first transverse comb tooth group 100, a second transverse comb tooth group 200, and a lifting comb tooth group.

[0056] The tower rack can be a steel frame, and its construction can adopt a frame structure commonly used in the industry; no specific structural restrictions are imposed here. The tower rack includes a parking area 301 and a lifting and avoiding area 302. The parking area 301 extends vertically, and the lifting and avoiding area 302 is arranged side by side with the parking area 301 in the horizontal direction.

[0057] The first transverse comb tooth group 100 includes a plurality of first transverse comb tooth mechanisms 10 arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction on the tower rack. For example... Figure 3 As shown, each first lateral comb mechanism 10 includes a first lateral comb frame 11 and a first lateral drive assembly 12. The first lateral comb frame 11 is used to carry a car, forming a parking space. The first lateral drive assembly 12 is connected to the first lateral comb frame 11 and can drive the first lateral comb frame 11 to reciprocate between the parking area 301 and the lifting and avoiding area 302.

[0058] The second transverse comb tooth group 200 is located below the first transverse comb tooth group 100, and the second transverse comb tooth group 200 includes a plurality of second transverse comb tooth mechanisms 20 arranged at equal intervals along the vertical direction on the tower rack. For example... Figure 6As shown, each second lateral comb mechanism 20 includes a second lateral comb frame 21 and a second lateral drive assembly 22. The second lateral comb frame 21 is used to carry a car, forming a parking space. The second lateral drive assembly 22 is connected to the second lateral comb frame 21 and can drive the second lateral comb frame 21 to reciprocate between the parking area 301 and the lifting and avoiding area 302.

[0059] Please continue reading. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The lifting comb assembly is located in the lifting avoidance area 302 and includes a first lifting comb frame 33, a first lifting drive assembly, a second lifting comb frame 34, and a second lifting drive assembly. The first lifting comb frame 33 has a first notch for avoiding the first lateral comb frame 11 and the second lifting comb frame 34 in the vertical direction. The first lifting drive assembly is configured to drive the first lifting comb frame 33 to reciprocate in the vertical direction so that the first lifting comb frame 33 can subsequently exchange vehicles with the first lateral comb frame 11.

[0060] The second lifting comber 34 has a second notch portion for avoiding the second lateral comber 21 in the vertical direction. The second lifting drive assembly is configured to drive the second lifting comber to reciprocate in the vertical direction so that the second lifting comber 34 can subsequently exchange vehicles with the second lateral comber 21.

[0061] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment, the process of exchanging vehicles between the first lifting comb frame 33 and the first transverse comb frame 11 includes:

[0062] 1. Vehicle storage process: First, the first lifting comb rack 33 moves to the entrance and exit of the tower rack, and the car enters the first lifting comb rack 33 from the entrance and exit. Then, the first lifting comb rack 33 lifts the car to the side and above the first lateral comb rack 11, which is in an empty state. Then, the first lateral drive assembly 12 drives the first lateral comb rack 11 to move laterally to the lifting clearance area 302, so that the first lateral comb rack 11 is directly below the first lifting comb rack 33. Then, the first lifting comb rack 33 moves down together with the car. The first notch of the first lifting comb rack 33 avoids the first lateral comb rack 11, so that the first lifting comb rack 33 can pass over the first lateral comb rack 11 and move to below the first lateral comb rack 11. During this process, the car is blocked by the first lateral comb rack 11 and leaves the first lifting comb rack 33, and presses on the first lateral comb rack 11, which carries the car. Finally, the first lateral drive assembly 12 drives the first lateral comb rack 11 and the car to move laterally into the parking area 301, completing the parking process.

[0063] 2. Vehicle Retrieval Process: When a vehicle needs to be retrieved, the first lateral movement drive assembly 12 drives the first lateral movement comb rack 11 and the vehicle it carries to move laterally to the lifting and clearing area 302. Then, the first lifting comb rack 33 moves from below the first lateral movement comb rack 11 to above it, thereby lifting the vehicle off the surface of the first lateral movement comb rack 11, where it is carried by the first lifting comb rack 33. Next, the first lateral movement drive assembly 12 drives the first lateral movement comb rack 11 to move laterally to the parking area 301. Finally, the first lifting comb rack 33 moves the vehicle down to the entrance and exit of the tower rack, and the vehicle drives out from the entrance and exit of the tower rack, completing the vehicle retrieval process.

[0064] The process of exchanging cars between the second lifting comb frame 34 and the second transverse comb frame 21 is the same as the process of exchanging cars between the first lifting comb frame 33 and the first transverse comb frame 11. Therefore, the process of exchanging cars between the second lifting comb frame 34 and the second transverse comb frame 21 will not be described in detail here.

[0065] The technical effects achieved by this embodiment include:

[0066] Compared with the traditional tower-type parking garage's single lifting mechanism for storing and retrieving vehicles, this embodiment uses a first lifting comb frame 33 and a second lifting comb frame 34 for storing and retrieving vehicles. In some application scenarios, the storage and retrieval processes of the first lifting comb frame 33 and the second lifting comb frame 34 can be carried out simultaneously, which can improve the efficiency of storing and retrieving vehicles and reduce user waiting time.

[0067] For example, in one application scenario, while the second lifting comb rack 34 is waiting to retrieve the car, the first lifting comb rack 33 can pass through the first notch from bottom to top, thereby moving above the first lifting comb rack 33 and retrieving the car from the first transverse comb rack 11. This allows the retrieval process of the first lifting comb rack 33 and the second lifting comb rack 34 to proceed simultaneously.

[0068] In another application scenario, the first lifting comb frame 33 moves a car to the first transverse comb group 100 while waiting to exchange cars. At the same time, the second lifting comb frame 34 can still move another car to the second transverse comb group 200 and exchange cars with the second lifting comb frame of the second transverse comb group 200.

[0069] In addition, the comb-tooth exchange tower garage of this embodiment not only improves parking efficiency and reduces user waiting time, but also has high usage flexibility. When one of the first lifting comb tooth frame 33 and the second lifting comb tooth frame 34 fails, the other can still continue to work, avoiding the entire tower garage from being out of use.

[0070] Next, we will continue to illustrate the structure of the comb-tooth exchange tower library by way of example.

[0071] Please combine Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first lifting comb frame 33 includes a first lifting support body, the front and rear sides of which are slidably connected to the tower rack; the second lifting comb frame 21 includes a second lifting support body, the front and rear sides of which are slidably connected to the tower rack.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 11 As shown, the main body of the first lifting support includes a left support 331, two left sliding connectors, a right support 332, and two right sliding connectors; the left support 331 and the right support 332 are arranged symmetrically and at intervals. The front and rear sides of the left support 331 are slidably connected to the tower rack via two left sliding connectors; the front and rear sides of the right support 332 are slidably connected to the tower rack via two right sliding connectors.

[0073] Furthermore, the left support 331 includes a first support rod 3313 extending in the front-rear direction. The inner side of the first support rod 3313 is provided with a first comb tooth structure 3311 and a second comb tooth structure 3312 spaced apart in the front-rear direction. One of the first comb tooth structure 3311 and the second comb tooth structure 3312 is used to support one of the front wheels of the vehicle, and the other is used to support one of the rear wheels of the vehicle. Specifically, the first comb tooth structure 3311 includes multiple first comb teeth arranged at equal intervals in the front-rear direction, with the length direction of each first comb tooth perpendicular to the front-rear direction; the second comb tooth structure 3312 includes multiple second comb teeth arranged at equal intervals in the front-rear direction, with the length direction of each second comb tooth perpendicular to the front-rear direction.

[0074] The right bracket 332 has the same structure as the left bracket 331, and also includes a second support rod extending in the front-rear direction. The inner side of the second support rod is provided with a third comb tooth structure and a fourth comb tooth structure spaced apart in the front-rear direction. One of the third and fourth comb tooth structures is used to support one of the front wheels of the vehicle, and the other is used to support one of the rear wheels. Specifically, the third comb tooth structure includes multiple third comb teeth arranged at equal intervals in the front-rear direction, with the length direction of each third comb tooth perpendicular to the front-rear direction; the fourth comb tooth structure includes multiple fourth comb teeth arranged at equal intervals in the front-rear direction, with the length direction of each fourth comb tooth perpendicular to the front-rear direction.

[0075] The first notch is defined by the left support 331 and the right support 332. Specifically, the first notch is formed by the gap between the first comb tooth, the second comb tooth, the third comb tooth, and the fourth comb tooth.

[0076] In some embodiments, the left sliding member includes a left connecting frame 3314 and a left pulley 3315. One end of the left connecting frame 3314 is fixed to the first support rod 3313 by a fastener, and the other end of the left connecting frame 3314 is connected to the left pulley 3315. The right sliding member includes a right connecting frame and a right pulley. One end of the right connecting frame is fixed to the second support rod by a fastener, and the other end of the right connecting frame is connected to the right pulley. The tower rack has four first guide grooves extending from the top of the tower rack to the bottom of the tower rack. Preferably, the first guide grooves are formed on the vertically extending columns of the tower rack. The two left pulleys 3315 and the two right pulleys slide into the four first guide grooves one by one. This arrangement allows the left and right sliding members to slide stably on the tower rack, thereby improving the stability of the left support 331 and the right support 332 during movement.

[0077] In one embodiment, such as Figure 13 As shown, the first lifting drive assembly includes two first lifting drive mechanisms 31 respectively located on the front and rear sides of the top of the tower rack. Each first lifting drive mechanism 31 includes a first motor 311, a first reducer 312, a first connecting shaft 313, two first driving pulleys 314, two first driven pulleys 315, and two first traction ropes.

[0078] The first motor 311 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam at the top of the tower rack. The first connecting shaft 313 is rotatably connected to the tower rack, and is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 311 via a first reducer 312. Specifically, the top of the tower rack is provided with support seats, and the two ends of the first connecting shaft 313 are rotatably mounted on two support seats. The first reducer 312 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam at the top of the tower rack. The input end of the first reducer 312 is connected to the output end of the first motor 311, and the output end of the first reducer 312 is connected to the first connecting shaft.

[0079] Two first driving pulleys 314 are fitted onto both ends of the first connecting shaft 313, and two first driven pulleys 315 are rotatably mounted on the columns of the tower frame. One end of each of the two first traction ropes is wound around the two first driving pulleys 314, and the other end of each rope passes over the two first driven pulleys 315 and is connected to the left support 331 and the right support 332, respectively. When the first motor 311 drives the first connecting shaft 313 to rotate forward and backward through the first reducer 312, the first driving pulleys 314 at both ends of the first connecting shaft 313 simultaneously wind or unwind the two first traction ropes, causing the ropes to move up or down, thereby pulling the left support 331 and the right support 332 to move up or down synchronously.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 12As shown, the second lifting comb frame 34 includes a second lifting support body, which includes a fifth comb tooth structure 342, a sixth comb tooth structure 343, and two parallel third support rods 341. The third support rods 341 extend in the front-rear direction, and both ends of the third support rods 341 are slidably connected to the tower rack via a sliding member 345.

[0081] The fifth comb tooth structure 342 and the sixth comb tooth structure 343 are spaced apart in the front-rear direction, and are used to support the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, respectively. The fifth comb tooth structure 342 includes multiple fifth comb teeth spaced equally in the front-rear direction, each fifth comb tooth having its length direction perpendicular to the third support rod 341, and each fifth comb tooth passing through two third support rods 341. The sixth comb tooth structure 343 includes multiple sixth comb teeth spaced equally in the front-rear direction, each sixth comb tooth having its length direction perpendicular to the third support rod 341, and each sixth comb tooth passing through two third support rods 341. The second notch is formed by the combination of the gaps between the ends of adjacent fifth comb teeth and the gaps between the ends of adjacent sixth comb teeth.

[0082] In one embodiment, the sliding member 345 includes a connecting member 3451 and a pulley. One end of the connecting member 3451 is fixed to the third support rod 341 by a fastener, and the other end of the connecting member 3451 is connected to the pulley. The tower rack has four second guide grooves extending from the top of the tower rack to the bottom of the tower rack. Each pulley slides into the four second guide grooves in turn. This scheme enables the sliding member 345 to slide stably on the tower rack, thereby improving the stability of the second lifting comb frame 34 during movement.

[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 As shown, the second lifting drive assembly includes two second lifting drive mechanisms 32 respectively located on the front and rear sides of the top of the tower rack. Each second lifting drive mechanism 32 includes a second motor 321, a second reducer 322, a second connecting shaft 323, two second driving pulleys 324, two second driven pulleys 325, and two second traction ropes.

[0084] The second motor 321 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam of the tower rack. The second connecting shaft 323 is rotatably connected to the tower rack, and is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 321 via a second reducer 322. Specifically, the top of the tower rack is provided with support seats, and both ends of the second connecting shaft 323 are rotatably mounted on two support seats. The second reducer 322 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam at the top of the tower rack; the input end of the second reducer 322 is connected to the output end of the second motor 321, and the output end of the second reducer 322 is connected to the second connecting shaft.

[0085] Two second driving pulleys 324 are fitted onto both ends of the second connecting shaft 323, and two second driven pulleys 325 are rotatably mounted on the columns of the tower frame. One end of each of the two second traction ropes is wound around the two second driving pulleys 324, and the other end of each rope passes over the two second driven pulleys 325 and is connected to the main body of the second lifting support. When the second motor 321 drives the second connecting shaft 323 to rotate forward and backward through the second reducer 322, the second driving pulleys 324 at both ends of the second connecting shaft 323 simultaneously wind or unwind the two second traction ropes, causing the ropes to move up or down, thereby pulling the main body of the second lifting support to move up or down.

[0086] In one embodiment, there are two parking areas 301, which are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the lifting and avoiding area 302.

[0087] like Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, each first lateral comb mechanism 10 has two first lateral comb frames 11, with each first lateral comb frame 11 located in one of the two parking areas 301. Similarly, each second lateral comb mechanism 20 has two second lateral comb frames 21, also located in one of the two parking areas 301. This arrangement increases the number of parking spaces in the tower garage.

[0088] In one embodiment, two first lateral movement drive components 12 are configured, with the two first lateral movement drive components 12 respectively located on the front and rear sides of the tower rack. Each first lateral movement drive component 12 includes at least a first roller set, a first pulley set, and a first lateral movement motor. The first roller set extends in the left-right direction and is disposed in the parking area 301 and the lifting and avoiding area 302. The first lateral movement motor drives the first roller set through the first pulley set.

[0089] The first lateral moving comb frame 11 includes a first lateral moving support body and two first lateral moving plates 111 fixed to the front and rear sides of the first lateral moving support body. The two first lateral moving plates 111 can slide back and forth between the parking area 301 and the lifting and avoiding area 302 on the front and rear sides of the tower rack. Specifically, the inner side of the tower rack is provided with a guide groove, and one side of the first lateral moving plate 111 slides into the guide groove. The guide groove guides the movement of the first lateral moving plate 111.

[0090] Furthermore, the two first transverse plates 111 abut against the first rolling wheel assembly, which drives the two first transverse plates 111 to slide independently. Specifically, the first rolling wheel assembly includes multiple driving wheels and multiple driven wheels, wherein the driving wheels and driven wheels are of the same size, and each driving wheel and each driven wheel is rotatably disposed on the inner side of the tower rack. The first pulley assembly includes multiple pulleys and a connecting belt. The multiple pulleys are respectively sleeved on the rotating shafts of the multiple driving wheels and the rotating shaft of the first transverse motor, and the connecting belt is sleeved on the multiple pulleys. When the rotating shaft of the first transverse motor rotates, it drives the multiple pulleys to rotate synchronously through the connecting belt, and the multiple pulleys drive the corresponding driving wheels to rotate. The driving wheels use friction to drive the first transverse plates 111 to move. In some preferred embodiments, the drive wheel can be a gear, and the first transverse plate 111 has a rack structure that meshes with the gear. When the gear rotates, it can drive the rack structure to move more precisely, thereby driving the first transverse plate 111 to move precisely by the rack structure.

[0091] In some embodiments, the second transverse comb frame 21 includes a second transverse support body and two second transverse plates 211 fixed to the front and rear sides of the second transverse support body; the two second transverse plates 211 can slide back and forth between the parking area 301 and the lifting avoidance area 302 on the front and rear sides of the tower rack.

[0092] The second lateral drive assembly 22 has the same structure as the first lateral drive assembly 12, therefore, the structure and working principle of the second lateral drive assembly 22 will not be described in detail here. The second lateral drive assembly 22 can drive the second lateral plate 211 to move back and forth between the parking area 301 and the lifting and avoiding area 302.

[0093] In some embodiments, the structure of the first transverse support body is the same as the structure of the second lifting support body, and the structure of the second transverse support body is the same as the structure of the first lifting support body.

[0094] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 In some embodiments, a rotating device can be provided at the bottom of the comb-tooth exchange tower garage to rotate the vehicle 180° so that the front of the vehicle faces outward. In this embodiment, both the left connecting frame 3314 and the right connecting frame are provided with a first limiting groove 3316. The first support rod 3313 and the second support rod of the first lifting comb frame 33 are attached to the first limiting groove 3316 of the left connecting frame 3314 and the right connecting frame in an overlapping manner. Similarly, the connecting member 3451 is provided with a second limiting groove 3452, and the third support rod 341 of the second lifting comb frame 34 is attached to the second limiting groove 3452 of the connecting member 3451 in an overlapping manner.

[0095] The rotating device includes a rotary motor (not shown), a rotating frame 40, and a lifting mechanism (not shown). The rotary motor is fixed to the output end of the lifting mechanism using a mounting bracket, and the rotating frame 40 is fixed to the output end of the rotary motor, with the rotary motor driving the rotating frame 40 to rotate. Specifically, the lifting mechanism is a hydraulic telescopic rod, which uses hydraulic drive to provide sufficient lifting force to achieve the purpose of lifting the car. The rotating frame 40 includes a first support rod 41, a second support rod 42, and a third support rod 43, and a connecting plate 44. The first support rod 41, the second support rod 42, and the third support rod 43 are arranged side by side, and the length direction of the connecting plate 44 is perpendicular to the length direction of the first support rod 41. The first support rod 41, the second support rod 42, and the third support rod 43 are all fixed to the connecting plate 44. The top surface of the first support rod 41 and the third support rod 43 is provided with a third limiting groove 45 for cooperating with the first support rod 3313, the second support rod, and the third support rod 341. The second support rod 42 is provided with a clearance groove for avoiding the first lifting comb frame 33 and the second lifting comb frame 34.

[0096] The process of rotating the car by the rotating device includes: the first lifting comb frame 33 and / or the second lifting comb frame 34 are located at the bottom of the tower frame and abut against the top surfaces of the first support rod 41, the second support rod 42 and the third support rod 43; the ends of the first support rod 3313 and the third support rod 341 are respectively attached to the corresponding third limiting groove 45; and the first lifting comb frame 33 and / or the second lifting comb frame 34 are located in the clearance groove of the second support rod 42. When the car drives into the top surface of the first lifting comb frame 33 and / or the second lifting comb frame 34, the lifting mechanism drives the rotary motor and the rotating frame 40 to rise, so that the rotating frame 40 lifts the first lifting comb frame 33 and / or the second lifting comb frame 34 until the first support rod 3313, the second support rod and the third support rod 341 move upward away from the corresponding first limit groove 3316 and the second limit groove 3452. Then the rotary motor drives the rotating frame 40 to rotate 180°. Then the lifting mechanism drives the rotary motor and the rotating frame 40 to move downward to return to their original positions. At this time, the first lifting comb frame 33 and / or the second lifting comb frame 34 move down to their original positions, so that the first support rod 3313, the second support rod and the third support rod 341 are re-attached in the corresponding first limit groove 3316 and the second limit groove 3452, thus realizing the rotation of the car.

For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the above technical features are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features is not contradictory, it should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
