Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of parking equipment technology, and more specifically to a swing-avoidance physical warning system installed on a vehicle platform that needs to be displaced in a lane area. Background Technology

[0002] Parking equipment and related facilities are widely used in China. Some types of parking equipment require the platform to occupy lane space for movement, including ground-level platforms with a forward-moving, rotating, and lateral movement mechanism, and rotating, obstacle-avoiding platforms installed in the outermost lateral movement space of lifting and lateral movement ground-level platforms. Vehicle transporters operating inside non-enclosed parking lots (equivalent to automatically moving platforms) also require lane space for movement. These types of equipment and facilities are innovative models, and the national or industry standards have not yet been standardized separately. Previously, parking equipment requiring lane space for movement was subject to the same installation and acceptance standards as simple lifting parking equipment, without a mandatory requirement for physical warning systems. However, in recent years, many local technical supervision bureaus responsible for inspecting parking equipment have imposed mandatory requirements for the installation and annual inspection of platforms in parking equipment requiring lane space movement. This has resulted in new products with only collision detection sensors or ultrasonic sensors (which can be considered electronic fences, not physical warning systems) failing inspection and being unable to enter the market, while existing equipment cannot pass annual inspections and cannot continue to be used legally. Clearly, if a solution can be found to install physical warning systems on the platform of parking equipment that occupies lane displacement without obstructing vehicle entry and exit, allowing this type of parking equipment to continue to be legally manufactured and in use to continue to be legally used, it will effectively promote the widespread application of parking equipment. If similar physical warning systems are also installed on vehicle transporters operating inside non-enclosed parking lots, the operational safety of vehicle transporters will be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to find a solution that can install a physical warning system on a vehicle body that needs to be moved in a lane area without obstructing the entry and exit of vehicles and has a low manufacturing cost.

[0004] The following is a detailed analysis.

[0005] First, currently, traditional parking equipment uses barriers specifically for the vehicle entrance and exit areas. A common approach is to install sliding rails on pillars on either side of the lane adjacent to the entrance / exit, and then install a retractable barrier between the two rails. Clearly, this approach (and similar solutions) cannot be applied to vehicle platforms that require movement.

[0006] Second, unlike conventional practices that only require blocking one side of the lane, the physical warning system must take into account situations where the vehicle platform needs to occupy the lane area for displacement, including situations where the left and right sides of the vehicle platform are directly facing the lane center line when the vehicle platform is moving in a straight line, and situations where the front and rear ends of the vehicle platform are directly facing the lane center line when the vehicle platform is rotating and moving laterally.

[0007] Third, the main function of the vehicle platform that needs to occupy the lane area for displacement is to park vehicles. Therefore, the installation of the physical warning system must ensure the convenience of vehicle entry and exit.

[0008] To address the aforementioned issues, the present invention provides a basic solution for a swing-avoidance physical warning system: the system includes a fence device mounted on the vehicle platform, a drive device, and a control device.

[0009] The fence device is signal-connected to the control device and includes hinges disposed on the outer facade of the vehicle panel. Each hinge includes a swing arm, and four sets are provided: a left front hinge located on the left outer front, a right front hinge located on the right outer front, a left rear hinge located on the left outer rear, and a right rear hinge located on the right outer rear. The left front hinge and the right front hinge form the front fence, and the left rear hinge and the right rear hinge form the rear fence device. The swing arm's reciprocating swing range is from a vertical position to a horizontal position towards the middle area of ​​the vehicle panel. The vertical position is referred to as the warning state, and the horizontal position is referred to as the avoidance state. The front fence and the rear fence device are in the same state.

[0010] The drive device is signal-connected to the control device and includes a power mechanism that drives the four sets of hinges to reciprocate. The drive method includes direct drive by the power mechanism; or indirect drive by the power mechanism through an auxiliary mechanism and / or an intermediate mechanism. The intermediate mechanism includes a reversing mechanism and an auxiliary mechanism. The reversing mechanism includes a cylindrical gear transmission pair.

[0011] The control device is connected to the equipment control system via signals, and the configuration method includes one of the following three: Option 1: Set up separately; Option 2: Integrate into the equipment operator; Option 3: Integrate into the equipment control system.

[0012] The control device sends corresponding control signals to the control device and the fence device according to the operation command and the position of the vehicle platform.

[0013] Application scenarios according to the present invention: For the renovation of existing equipment, the control device can be set up separately, which can retain the original equipment operator and equipment control system without modification, resulting in the lowest renovation cost. However, it is necessary to set up an operation button that includes the "warning / avoidance" function. If it is integrated into the equipment operator, an operation button that includes the "warning / avoidance" function can be added to the new equipment operator. The original equipment control system can be retained without modification, and the renovation cost is also low.

[0014] For the application of new products, integration into the equipment control system is the better option.

[0015] Optionally, one of the hinge drive options based on the aforementioned basic scheme (hereinafter referred to as Option 1): the four sets of hinges are driven by four single-end output power mechanisms, and the structural form includes one of the following two forms: In Form 1, the power mechanism directly drives the left front hinge, the right front hinge, the left rear hinge, and the right rear hinge, respectively, which are directly driven by the left front power mechanism, the right front power mechanism, the left rear power mechanism, and the right rear power mechanism.

[0016] Form 2, wherein the power mechanism is indirectly driven by the auxiliary mechanism: the left front hinge, the right front hinge, the left rear hinge, and the right rear hinge are respectively indirectly driven by the left front power mechanism through the left front auxiliary mechanism, the right front power mechanism through the right front auxiliary mechanism, the left rear power mechanism through the left rear auxiliary mechanism, and the right rear power mechanism through the right rear auxiliary mechanism.

[0017] Optionally, based on the aforementioned basic scheme, a second hinge drive scheme (hereinafter referred to as Option 2) is provided: the four sets of hinges are driven by two power mechanisms outputting from both ends, and the structural form includes one of the following two forms: In Form 1, the power mechanism is directly driven: the left front hinge and the right front hinge are directly driven by the outputs from the left and right ends of the first power mechanism, and the left rear hinge and the right rear hinge are directly driven by the outputs from the left and right ends of the second power mechanism.

[0018] Form 2, wherein the power mechanism is indirectly driven by the auxiliary mechanism: the left front hinge is indirectly driven by the left end of the first power mechanism through the first left auxiliary mechanism, and the right front hinge is indirectly driven by the right end of the first power mechanism through the first right auxiliary mechanism; the left rear hinge is indirectly driven by the left end of the second power mechanism through the second left auxiliary mechanism, and the right rear hinge is indirectly driven by the right end of the second power mechanism through the second right auxiliary mechanism.

[0019] Optionally, based on the aforementioned basic scheme, the third hinge drive scheme (hereinafter referred to as Option Scheme 3) is as follows: the four sets of hinges are driven by two single-end output power mechanisms: the left front hinge and the right front hinge are driven by the first power mechanism through the left and right ends of the first auxiliary mechanism; the left rear hinge and the right rear hinge are driven by the second power mechanism through the left and right ends of the second auxiliary mechanism.

[0020] Optionally, based on the aforementioned basic scheme, the fourth hinge drive scheme (hereinafter referred to as Option 4) is as follows: the four sets of hinges are driven by a power mechanism plus an intermediate mechanism, and the structural form includes one of the following two forms: In Form 1, the power mechanism outputs power from one end, and the input of the intermediate mechanism simultaneously serves as the first output for both the left and right ends. After reversal, the input becomes the second output for both the left and right ends. Specifically, the power mechanism outputs power to the intermediate mechanism, and the first output of the intermediate mechanism drives the left front hinge and the right front hinge, respectively. The second output of the intermediate mechanism drives the left rear hinge and the right rear hinge, respectively. Alternatively, the power mechanism outputs power to the intermediate mechanism, and the first output of the intermediate mechanism drives the left rear hinge and the right rear hinge, respectively. The second output of the intermediate mechanism drives the left front hinge and the right front hinge, respectively.

[0021] Form 2: The power mechanism outputs power from its left and right ends, and the intermediate mechanism outputs power from its left and right ends after reversal; specifically: the outputs from both ends of the power mechanism drive the left front hinge and the right front hinge respectively, and one end of the left or right output outputs power to the intermediate mechanism, and the outputs from both ends of the intermediate mechanism drive the left rear hinge and the right rear hinge respectively; or, the outputs from both ends of the power mechanism drive the left rear hinge and the right rear hinge respectively, and one end of the left or right output output outputs power to the intermediate mechanism, and the outputs from both ends of the intermediate mechanism drive the left front hinge and the right front hinge respectively.

[0022] Optionally, based on the aforementioned basic scheme, the fifth hinge drive option (hereinafter referred to as Option Five) is as follows: the four sets of hinges are driven by a motor reducer to output two worm gear transmission pairs with the same parameters but opposite directions of rotation. The structural form includes one of the following two forms: In Form 1, the outputs at the front and rear ends of the motor reducer drive two worm gear transmission pairs with opposite directions of rotation, respectively; wherein, the outputs at the left and right ends of the worm gear transmission pair located at the front end drive the left front hinge and the right front hinge, respectively, and the outputs at the left and right ends of the worm gear transmission pair located at the rear end drive the left rear hinge and the right rear hinge, respectively.

[0023] In the second configuration, the motor reducer has a single-end output, which drives two worm gear transmission pairs with opposite directions of rotation through the front and rear ends of the auxiliary mechanism. Specifically, the left and right ends of the worm gear transmission pair located at the front end drive the left front hinge and the right front hinge, respectively, while the left and right ends of the worm gear transmission pair located at the rear end drive the left rear hinge and the right rear hinge, respectively.

[0024] As can be seen from the application scenario of this invention, when the system switches between a warning state and an avoidance state, the two sets of hinges of the front fence device swing in the same direction, while the two sets of hinges of the rear fence device swing in the same direction but opposite to the swing direction of the hinges of the front fence device. For the aforementioned optional solutions one to three, since the hinges of the front and rear fence devices are driven by different power mechanisms, only appropriate drive control needs to be implemented in the control system. The aforementioned optional solution five uses a motor reducer to drive two worm gear transmission pairs with the same parameters but opposite rotation directions, which can also automatically achieve the required function. The aforementioned optional solution four uses an intermediate mechanism with a reversing function, also for the purpose of automatically achieving the required function.

[0025] Optionally, based on the aforementioned basic scheme, the hinge drive option six (hereinafter referred to as option six) is as follows: the four sets of hinges are manually operated by the operator instead of being driven by the drive device; the hinges are equipped with locking devices, and the locking devices are locked when the hinges are in the warning state; the hinges must be manually unlocked before they change from the warning state to the avoidance state.

[0026] As can be seen from the application scenarios of this invention, the locking device can be a conventional device, which will not be elaborated here.

[0027] Furthermore, based on the aforementioned optional schemes one, two, three, four, or five, the power mechanism is a motor reducer with rotary output; or, it is a power mechanism in which the linear displacement output component of the linear displacement unit is changed to rotary output by a rack and pinion driving a gear or by a rod driving an eccentric wheel; the linear displacement unit includes a linear push rod reducer motor, a hydraulic transmission mechanism, or a pneumatic transmission mechanism.

[0028] The auxiliary mechanism is a sprocket and chain drive mechanism or a synchronous belt drive mechanism.

[0029] The setup and combination of the above mechanisms are all conventional mechanical transmission designs, and will not be elaborated here.

[0030] As can be seen from the application scenario of this invention, the hinge reciprocating swing angle of the present invention is approximately 90°. Therefore, if the power mechanism uses a motor reducer, a model with a relatively large reduction ratio should be selected.

[0031] Optionally, based on the aforementioned optional scheme one, two, three, four, five, or six, one of the optional configuration schemes of the hinge (hereinafter referred to as optional scheme seven): each hinge includes a drive lever driven by the drive device, and an alarm unit connected to the control device is provided at the upper end of the drive lever; the alarm unit includes light alarm and / or sound alarm.

[0032] Optionally, based on the aforementioned optional schemes one, two, three, four, five, or six, the second optional arrangement of the hinge (hereinafter referred to as optional scheme eight): the hinge is a rectangular / parallelogram hinge mechanism, including at least one driving swing rod driven by the driving device, several follower swing rods, and a pull rod with a length at least equal to the horizontal length of the rectangle; the driving swing rod and the follower swing rods are arranged parallel to each other on the same elevation, and hinge units are respectively provided at both ends; the center distance between the two hinge units of the driving swing rod and the follower swing rod is equal; the upper hinge unit is located on the pull rod, and the lower hinge unit is located at the corresponding position on the outer side of the same side beam of the vehicle panel, so that when the driving swing rod is in a vertical position, all the follower swing rods are in a vertical position; when the driving swing rod is driven by the driving device from a vertical position to a horizontal position towards the middle area of ​​the vehicle panel, all the follower swing rods swing to a horizontal position accordingly; at any time, the pull rod always remains in a horizontal state.

[0033] The outermost part of the pull rod along its length is provided with a warning unit that is connected to the control device; the warning unit includes light warning and / or sound warning.

[0034] As can be seen from the application scenario of this invention, the "rectangular / parallelogram hinge mechanism" refers to a hinge whose outline is rectangular when the swing arm is in a vertical position; when the swing arm swings, the rectangle changes to a parallelogram. When the length of the pull rod is greater than the horizontal length of the rectangle, the excess portion should be positioned towards the end of the vehicle body.

[0035] Furthermore, one of the advanced solutions based on the aforementioned basic solution (hereinafter referred to as Advanced Solution 1): the fence device is supplemented with a front fence and a rear fence that are manually operated by an operator; the front fence is a rod-shaped member or a flexible cable, and when the front fence is in a warning state, both ends of the front fence are respectively located on the outermost side above the front fence and laterally cross the vehicle platform; when the front fence is in a non-warning state, the front fence is removed from the front fence; the rear fence is a rod-shaped member or a flexible cable, and when the rear fence is in a warning state, both ends of the rear fence are respectively located on the outermost side above the rear fence and laterally cross the vehicle platform; when the rear fence is in a non-warning state, the rear fence is removed from the rear fence.

[0036] Furthermore, based on the aforementioned basic solution, an advanced solution two (hereinafter referred to as Advanced Solution Two) is proposed: the fence device is supplemented with a front fence and a rear fence that are manually operated by an operator; the front fence is a soft rope wound by an automatic reel, the outlet of which is located at the outer end above one of the hinges of the front fence. When the front fence is in an alert state, the operator manually pulls the soft rope at the outlet of the automatic reel to the outer end above the other hinge of the front fence, which crosses the vehicle platform laterally; when the front fence is in a non-alert state... The operator removes the flexible cable from the front fence, where it is wound up by the automatic reel. The rear fence consists of the flexible cable wound by the automatic reel. The outlet of the automatic reel is located at the outer end above one of the hinges of the rear fence. When the rear fence is in an alert state, the operator manually pulls the flexible cable at the outlet of the automatic reel to the outer end above the other hinge of the rear fence, which crosses the vehicle platform laterally. When the rear fence is not in an alert state, the operator removes the flexible cable from the rear fence, where it is wound up by the automatic reel.

[0037] As can be seen from the application scenarios of this invention, the automatic reel reel can be selected from conventional designs (refer to the automatic reel reel for pet leashes) or finished products, which will not be elaborated here.

[0038] Optionally, based on the aforementioned advanced scheme one or two: the outer surfaces of the front fence and the rear fence are provided with warning color markings; or luminous warning devices are provided.

[0039] The swaying avoidance physical warning system provided by the present invention has the following advantages: This invention innovatively proposes installing a physical warning system on the vehicle platform that needs to be displaced in the lane area. This system can block and warn during the displacement of the vehicle platform, and can swing to avoid it when stationary. This allows equipment that has been discontinued due to non-compliance with the new acceptance standards to continue production and be put on the market by adopting this invention, and allows existing equipment to continue to be used legally by adopting this invention.

[0040] Therefore, the present invention has significant differences compared with the prior art and has significant improvements in performance.

[0041] It should be further noted that the solution of the present invention can be applied to both new products and the upgrading and transformation of existing equipment, thus further expanding the scope of application. Attached Figure Description

[0079] This embodiment corresponds to the third of the aforementioned hinge drive options, in which four sets of hinges (only the driving components of the left front hinge and the right front hinge are shown in the figure) are driven by two single-end output power mechanisms (only the power mechanism located in the front area of ​​the vehicle plate 10 is shown in the figure) through the output of the two ends of the auxiliary mechanism. In this embodiment, the power mechanism is a motor reducer, and the auxiliary mechanism is a sprocket and chain drive mechanism.

[0080] As shown in the figure, the motor reducer 41 drives the auxiliary mechanism consisting of the driving sprocket 63, the chain 62, and the driven sprocket 61. The output shaft 64 at the left end of the auxiliary mechanism drives the left front hinge drive component 21, and the output shaft 65 at the right end drives the right front hinge drive component 22. Example 6

[0082] This embodiment corresponds to Form 1 of the aforementioned hinge drive optional scheme 4, in which four sets of hinges are driven by a single-end output power mechanism plus an intermediate mechanism. In this embodiment, the power mechanism is a motor reducer, the auxiliary mechanism is a sprocket and chain drive mechanism, and the reversing mechanism is a cylindrical gear drive.

[0083] As shown in the figure, the motor reducer 41 drives the auxiliary mechanism consisting of the driving sprocket 63, the chain 62, and the driven sprocket 61. The left front output shaft 64 of the auxiliary mechanism drives the left front hinge drive component 21, and the right front output shaft 65 drives the right front hinge drive component 22.

The reversing mechanism and the auxiliary mechanism form an intermediate mechanism. The rear output shaft 84 at the left end of the intermediate mechanism drives the left rear hinge drive component 23, and the rear output shaft 85 at the right end drives the right rear hinge drive component 24. Example 7
