Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of vehicle parking equipment, in particular to an external damping roller mechanism and a vehicle guiding mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the field of automated parking, battery replacement or charging, the parking angle of the vehicle often needs to be adjusted for parking, battery replacement or charging. For this reason, the system usually adds a vehicle entry guide mechanism to clamp the vehicle through a pair of clamping rods to correct the vehicle angle. In order to reduce damage to tires during the passive correction of the vehicle, rollers are generally laid at the parking position of the vehicle to reduce friction and force on the tires.

[0003] The roller currently used has bearings at both ends of the roller, and the rotation between the outer ring of the roller and the shaft is very smooth. People standing on the roller are prone to fall, which poses a serious safety hazard. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the damping of the roller to reduce the safety hazards of the system. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above, it is necessary to externally provide a damping roller mechanism and a vehicle guide mechanism in order to improve the rotational damping of the roller.

[0005] To this end, the present disclosure first provides an external damping roller mechanism, comprising:

[0006] A roller assembly, comprising a roller seat and a plurality of rollers rotatably connected to the roller seat;

[0007] The damping assembly comprises a damping sheet connected to the roller seat and in contact with the roller to apply damping to the roller.

[0008] According to the external damping roller mechanism, the damping plate is in contact with the roller below the roller.

[0009] According to the external damping roller mechanism, the upper surface of the damping plate is tangent to the circumferential surface of the roller.

[0010] According to the external damping roller mechanism, the damping assembly further comprises a fixing plate, which is connected to the roller seat and clamps the damping plate to fix the damping plate.

[0011] According to the external damping roller mechanism, the damping plate includes a connecting hole, the length of the connecting hole in the vertical direction is greater than the length in the horizontal direction; the damping assembly also includes a connecting member, which passes through the fixing plate and the connecting hole to connect to the roller base.

[0012] According to the external damping roller mechanism, it comprises a pair of damping components, and the damping components are respectively arranged at two ends of the roller seat along the length direction of the roller.

[0013] Moreover, the present disclosure also provides a vehicle straightening mechanism, including a support position for supporting wheels, wherein the support position is provided with the external damping roller mechanism.

[0014] According to the vehicle correction mechanism, it also includes a clamping rod, which is movably connected to the roller seat along the rolling direction of the roller, and is used to push the vehicle to correct the parking angle of the vehicle when the vehicle is parked at the support position.

[0015] According to the vehicle straightening mechanism, it also includes a connecting plate, which is connected to the clamping rod and movably connected to the roller seat.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned external damping roller mechanism and vehicle guide mechanism arrange a damping plate on the outside of the roller. The damping plate contacts the roller and applies friction to the roller, thereby increasing the damping during the rotation of the roller and preventing people from falling due to the rotation of the roller.

[0017] Furthermore, the damping plate of the above-mentioned external damping roller mechanism and vehicle straightening mechanism is arranged so that the length in the vertical direction is greater than the length in the horizontal direction. During use, the position of the damping plate can be adjusted in the vertical direction by means of the fixing plate, so that the damping of the roller can be adjusted. After the damping plate is worn, it can also be repaired by adjusting the position of the damping plate, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the external damping roller mechanism and the vehicle straightening mechanism.

[0023] The following specific implementations will further illustrate the present disclosure in conjunction with the above-mentioned drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present disclosure, the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present disclosure, and the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms used in the specification herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0026] In each embodiment, for the convenience of description and not to limit the present disclosure, the term "connection" used in the patent application specification and claims of the present disclosure is not limited to physical or mechanical connection, but may include electrical connection, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "below", "left", "right", etc. are only used to indicate relative position relationship. When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative position relationship also changes accordingly.

[0027] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle guiding mechanism. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle correction mechanism includes a support position, and the support position is provided with an external damping roller mechanism, an external damping roller mechanism and a clamping rod 20. In this embodiment, the support position includes a pair of front wheel support positions and a pair of rear wheel support positions. The front wheel support position is used to carry the two front wheels of the vehicle after the vehicle is parked, and the pair of rear wheel support positions is used to carry the two rear wheels of the vehicle after the vehicle is parked. The external damping roller mechanism is arranged on the support position, and is used to carry the wheels of the vehicle. The clamping rod 20 is movably connected to the external damping roller mechanism, and is used to push the vehicle to move and correct the parking angle of the vehicle when the vehicle is parked at the front wheel support position and the rear wheel support position. In this way, by setting a traction device of the clamping rod 20, a pair of clamping rods 20 can be moved relatively close or away, and clamp a pair of front wheels and a pair of rear wheels of the vehicle at the same time, so that at least one of the front wheels and the rear wheels swings to correct the parking angle of the vehicle.

[0028] During the vehicle alignment process, the movement of the tire relative to the front wheel support position and the rear wheel support position may be damaged due to friction. For this reason, in some embodiments, an external damping roller mechanism is provided at at least one of the front wheel support position and the rear wheel support position. Those skilled in the art may set the external damping roller mechanism at the front wheel support position or the rear wheel support position as needed. The rollers may also be provided at the same time for both. The present application does not impose any restrictions on this. Since the friction force is relatively large during the vehicle alignment process, the external damping roller mechanism may be driven to rotate during the alignment process, thereby reducing damage to the wheels. On the other hand, since the weight of the operator is much smaller than the weight of the vehicle, the force acting on the external damping roller mechanism is relatively small, and it is not easy to drive the external damping roller mechanism to rotate during the stepping process, thereby preventing the external damping roller mechanism from rolling and causing people to fall and get injured.

[0029] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the external damping roller mechanism. Figure 2 As shown, the external damping roller mechanism includes a roller assembly and a damping assembly. The roller assembly is used to achieve rolling contact of the vehicle tires, and the damping assembly is used to increase the damping of the roller assembly, improve the friction of the roller assembly, and prevent the roller assembly from rotating too smoothly and injuring the staff.

[0030] Specifically, the roller assembly includes a roller seat 10 and a plurality of rollers 11 rotatably connected to the roller seat 10. Both ends of the roller 11 are rotatably connected to the roller seat 10 through bearings and other components, and can rotate relatively on the roller seat 10, so that the wheel can move on the roller 11 to reduce the resistance of the wheel during movement. In this embodiment, the number of rollers 11 can be multiple, and they are relatively parallelly arranged on the roller seat 10, and the rotating surface forms a plane in contact with the wheel.

[0031] The damping assembly is used to increase the resistance during the rotation of the drum 11. In this embodiment, the external damping drum mechanism includes a pair of damping assemblies, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the drum seat 10 along the length direction of the drum 11 to synchronously apply damping to both ends of the drum 11.

[0032] Specifically, the damping assembly includes a damping sheet 30, a fixing plate 31 and a connecting member 32. The damping sheet 30 is connected to the drum seat 10 and contacts the drum 11 to apply friction to the drum 11, and the fixing plate 31 and the connecting member 32 are used to fix the damping sheet 30. Figure 2As shown, the damping sheet 30 is in contact with the roller 11 below the roller 11, the upper surface of the damping sheet 30 is tangent to the circumferential surface of the roller 11, and the length direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the roller 11. The fixing plate 31 is connected to the roller seat 10 and clamps the damping sheet 30 to fix the damping sheet 30. In this embodiment, a plurality of threaded holes are provided on the inner side of the roller seat 10, and the fixing plate 31 is provided with corresponding through holes. The connecting member 32 passes through the threaded holes of the fixing plate 31 and the damping sheet 30 connected to the roller seat 10 in sequence, thereby fixing the damping sheet 30 on the roller seat 10.

[0033] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the damping sheet 30. Figure 3 As shown, the damping sheet 30 is in an "L"-shaped structure, with one end (i.e., the top end 301) connected to the roller seat, and the other end (i.e., the bottom end 302) extending in the horizontal direction and contacting the roller 11. In this way, the top end 301 extends generally in a direction parallel to the contact surface formed by the plurality of rollers 11 and in contact with the wheel, and contacts the rotating surface of the roller 11, so that friction can be applied to the roller 11 during the rotation of the roller 11, thereby increasing the rotation damping of the roller 11. On the other hand, the bottom end 302 extends in the vertical direction, so that it can fit the fixing plate 31 and the roller seat 10, and fix the damping sheet 30 on the roller seat 10.

[0034] In order to adjust the damping sheet 30 in the vertical direction, in this embodiment, the damping sheet 30 includes a connecting hole 303, through which the connecting member 32 is connected to the threaded hole of the roller seat 10. The length of the connecting hole 303 in the vertical direction is greater than the length in the horizontal direction, forming a strip-shaped special-shaped hole. When in use, the height of the damping sheet 30 in the vertical direction can be adjusted according to the required damping size and the degree of wear of the damping sheet 30, thereby improving the flexibility of the equipment and reducing the use cost of the external damping roller mechanism.

[0035] Please review Figure 1 In order to achieve wheel alignment, in this embodiment, the clamping rod 20 is movably connected to the roller seat 10 along the rolling direction of the roller 11, and is used to clamp the vehicle and correct the parking angle of the vehicle when the vehicle is parked at the front wheel support position and the rear wheel support position. Specifically, a connecting plate 21 is connected to each end of the clamping rod 20, and the length direction of the connecting plate 21 generally extends along the rolling direction of the roller 11, and is movably connected to the roller seat 10 through one or more sliding members 22 (such as a slider-slide rail structure).

[0036] During operation, due to the heavy weight of the vehicle, the clamping rod 20 pushes the wheel to move, and the vehicle will apply a large friction force to the roller 11 of the external damping roller mechanism during the alignment process, thereby driving the roller 11 to rotate and align the angle, reducing the wear of the vehicle's tires and the resistance during the alignment process. However, in other states, due to the relatively small weight of the staff relative to the vehicle, it is difficult to cause the roller 11 to rotate when stepping on it, thereby reducing the risk of falling due to the rotation of the roller 11.

[0037] Furthermore, the damping plate 30 of the above-mentioned external damping roller mechanism and vehicle straightening mechanism is set to have a vertical length greater than a horizontal length. During use, the position of the damping plate 30 can be adjusted in the vertical direction by the fixing plate 31, so that the damping of the roller 11 can be adjusted. After the damping plate 30 is worn, it can also be repaired by adjusting the position of the damping plate 30, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the external damping roller mechanism and the vehicle straightening mechanism.
