[0034] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the parking equipment structure. Figure 1 As shown, the parking equipment includes a parking rack 20, a mother car 10 and a child car, and a leveling docking mechanism 30. The mother car 10 is used to carry the child car, and the leveling docking mechanism 30 is arranged between the mother car 10 and the parking rack 20. After the mother car 10 is parked at a position corresponding to the parking rack 20, the leveling docking mechanism 30 is connected between the mother car 10 and the parking rack 20, so as to align the mother car 10 and the parking rack 20 in the height direction and prevent the mother car 10 and the parking rack 20 from moving relative to each other. In this way, the child car can move and transport the vehicle smoothly between the mother car 10 and the parking rack 20 to avoid generating large vibrations and noises.
[0035] Specifically, the mother vehicle 10 includes a first carriage frame 11 for carrying the sub-vehicle, and the parking frame 20 is provided with a second carriage frame 21 for carrying the sub-vehicle. After the mother vehicle 10 moves to the destination, the first carriage frame 11 is aligned with the second carriage frame 21, and the leveling docking mechanism 30 aligns the first carriage frame 11 and the second carriage frame 21 in the height direction, and connects the mother vehicle 10 and the parking frame 20. In this way, the sub-vehicle can smoothly pass between the first carriage frame 11 and the second carriage frame 21 with the vehicle loaded.
[0036] Figure 23 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the flat docking mechanism 30. Figure 2 As shown, the leveling docking mechanism 30 includes a docking block 31, a leveling assembly 32 and a hook assembly 33. The docking block 31 is connected to the end of the parking frame 20 close to the mother vehicle 10, and the leveling assembly 32 and the hook assembly 33 are arranged at the end of the mother vehicle 10 close to the parking frame 20. After the mother vehicle 10 moves to the destination, the leveling assembly 32 connects the docking block 31 to achieve the leveling of the first traveling frame 11 and the second traveling frame 21 in the height direction, and the hook assembly 33 connects the mother vehicle 10 and the docking block 31 to achieve the relative fixation of the mother vehicle 10 and the parking frame 20, so as to prevent the mother vehicle 10 from moving relative to the parking frame 20 and causing positional displacement during the movement of the child vehicle.
[0037] Figure 3 31 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the docking block 31. Figure 3 As shown, the docking block 31 connected to the parking frame 20 includes a first slot body 311 and a second slot body 312, wherein the first slot body 311 and the second slot body 312 are open slots for accommodating the leveling assembly 32 and the hook assembly 33. Specifically, the opening of the first slot body 311 faces the moving direction of the sub-trolley, the depth direction extends along the moving direction of the sub-trolley, and the length direction extends substantially along the moving direction of the mother vehicle 10. In addition, the height of the first slot body 311 substantially corresponds to the leveling assembly 32, so that after the leveling assembly 32 is plugged into the first slot body 311, the height difference between the first running frame 11 and the second running frame 21 can be corrected, so that the height difference between the first running frame 11 and the second running frame 21 is within a preset range, which plays a leveling role. When the leveling assembly 32 enters the first slot body 311, the height difference between the first running frame 11 and the second running frame 21 is within a preset range. The second slot 312 is used to accommodate the hook assembly 33. Specifically, the opening of the second slot 312 deviates from the moving direction of the sub-carriage, and is preferably perpendicular to the opening direction of the first slot 311. The depth direction of the second slot 312 is inclined to the second slot 312 in the moving direction of the sub-carriage, and is preferably perpendicular to the moving direction of the sub-carriage, that is, parallel to the length direction of the first slot 311. In order to facilitate the hook assembly 33 to enter the second slot 312, in this embodiment, the second slot 312 includes a guide surface with an outer end inclined close to the mother car 10, and the guide surface is used to guide the hook assembly 33 to enter the second slot 312.
[0038] Figure 4 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the leveling component 32 and the hook component 33. Figure 4 As shown, the leveling assembly 32 and the hook assembly 33 are arranged nearby, and the leveling assembly 32 is located above the hook assembly 33. During operation, the leveling assembly 32 first connects the docking block 31, and then the hook assembly 33 realizes the action of hooking the docking block 31 on the basis of the leveling.
[0039] Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the structure of the leveling component 32. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the leveling assembly 32 includes an overhanging plate 321 and a first roller 322. The overhanging plate 321 is connected to the mother vehicle 10 and extends from the mother vehicle 10, that is, one end is connected to the mother vehicle 10, and the other end is overhanging from the mother vehicle 10 along the moving direction of the child vehicle. The first roller 322 is rotatably connected to the mother vehicle 10, and specifically, the first roller 322 is rotatably connected to the overhanging end of the overhanging plate 321. When working, the overhanging plate 321 overlaps the docking block 31, and the first roller 322 is embedded in the first slot 311 to realize the leveling action of the leveling assembly 32.
[0040] Figure 6 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the hook assembly 33. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the hook assembly 33 includes a driver 331, a connecting plate 332, a connecting rod 333 and a hook block 334. The driver 331, the connecting plate 332 and the connecting rod 333 are used to drive the hook block 334 to rotate. Specifically, the driver 331 can be a driving component such as an electric push rod, a cylinder, etc., and the output shaft can be telescopic along the moving direction of the child vehicle. The connecting plate 332 is movably connected to the mother vehicle 10 along the moving direction of the child vehicle, for example, it can be movably connected to the mother vehicle 10 through a slider-guide rail structure. The output shaft of the driver 331 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 332, and is used to drive the connecting plate 332 to move back and forth. The number of the connecting rods 333 is a pair, and one end of each connecting rod 333 is rotatably connected to the output shaft of the driver 331, and the other end is rotatably connected to the hook block 334. Specifically, the connecting rod 333 is rotatably connected to the hook block 334 through the first rotating shaft 3331. In the embodiment, the number of the hook assembly 33 is a pair, which is generally a hook-shaped structure. One end of the hook block 334 is rotatably connected to the mother vehicle 10 via a second rotating shaft 3341, and a certain distance is provided between the first rotating shaft 3331 and the second rotating shaft 3341, so that the driver 331 drives the hook block 334 to rotate back and forth via the connecting rod 333. A second roller 335 is rotatably connected to the outer end of the hook block 334, and is used to guide the hook block 334 to move to the second slot 312.
[0041] When the mother vehicle 10 and the parking rack 20 need to be connected, the driver 331 drives the pair of connecting rods 333 through the connecting plate 332 to synchronously drive the pair of hook blocks 334 of the hooking assembly 33 to rotate synchronously, so that the hook blocks 334 can be laterally embedded in the second slot 312 under the guidance of the second roller 335 to achieve the hook connection between the mother vehicle 10 and the parking rack 20. Under the drive of the driver 331, the hook blocks 334 can also rotate in the opposite direction and move out of the second slot 312 to achieve the separation action of the mother vehicle 10 and the parking rack 20.
[0042] During operation, when the mother vehicle 10 approaches the parking rack 20, the first roller 322 rolls into the first groove 311, and at the same time, the end of the overhanging plate 321 overlaps the docking block 31. The height difference between the first traveling frame 11 and the second traveling frame 21 is within a preset range and is basically in a flush state. The parking rack 20 and the mother vehicle 10 are aligned in the height direction to complete the leveling action of the mother vehicle 10.
[0043] Then, the hook block 334 rotates to embed into the second groove body 312 and hooks the docking block 31. As the child vehicle moves, it will find the movement of the mother vehicle 10 and the parking frame 20 along the moving direction of the child vehicle. In this way, the hook block 334 is hooked in the second groove body 312 to realize the connection between the mother vehicle 10 and the parking frame 20 in the moving direction of the child vehicle, preventing the mother vehicle 10 from moving relative to the parking frame 20, causing the overhanging plate 321 and the first roller 322 to detach from the docking block 31, thereby causing the leveling effect to disappear.
[0044] The above-mentioned leveling docking mechanism 30 and parking equipment are such that when the mother vehicle 10 approaches the parking rack 20, the first roller 322 rolls into the first groove 311 to align the parking rack 20 and the mother vehicle 10 in the height direction, and the hook block 334 rotates to be embedded in the second groove 312 and hooks the docking block 31, thereby realizing the leveling docking mechanism 30 connecting the mother vehicle 10 and the parking rack 20, which not only enables a firm docking, but also effectively reduces the gap between the parts, improves the reliability of the docking, ensures the stability of driving, and makes the overall operation efficiency more efficient.
