[0032] The utility model provides a parking robot 100, which is applied to the management of a parking lot, and is used to carry a car 210 and clear roads and parking spaces in the parking lot.

[0033] See also Figure 1-Figure 5The parking robot 100 includes a vehicle body 10, a wheel assembly 20, a lifting assembly 30 and an operating platform 40. The vehicle body 10 is in a vertical direction, and the vehicle body 10 has a bottom surface and an upper side surface that are arranged opposite to each other; the wheel assembly 20 is installed on the bottom surface of the vehicle body 10, and the lifting assembly 30 is used to lift the car 210. The lifting assembly 30 is installed on the upper side of the vehicle body 10 and can rise or fall in the vertical direction. The operating platform 40 is installed on the upper side of the vehicle body 10 and is electrically connected to the wheel assembly 20 and the lifting assembly 30. In this way, the wheel assembly 20 is located on the bottom surface of the vehicle body 10 and contacts the ground, and is used to drive the vehicle body 10 to move horizontally. The lifting assembly 30 can rise to lift the car 210, and can also fall to separate from the car 210, thereby releasing the connection between the parking robot 100 and the car 210. The operating table 40 can facilitate personnel to operate the parking robot 100. The personnel can stand on the vehicle body 10, interact with the operating table 40, and operate the wheel assembly 20 and the lifting assembly 30 through the operating table 40, so that the vehicle body 10 can be moved to the bottom of the car 210, thereby carrying and moving the car 210. When the car 210 stops in a parking lot or other path where vehicles need to pass and blocks traffic, the parking robot 100 can move the car 210 to restore normal traffic, and can also adjust the parking of the cars 210 in the parking lot to make their parking locations more regular and reasonable, so that the parking lot can accommodate more cars 210.

[0034] See also Figure 4-Figure 5 The wheel assembly 20 includes a mounting seat 21 and a wheel 22. The mounting seat 21 is connected to the bottom surface of the vehicle body 10, and a mounting groove 212 is provided on the mounting seat 21, and the wheel 22 is arranged in the mounting groove 212. The mounting seat 21 facilitates the assembly of the wheel 22, so that the connection structure between the wheel 22 and the vehicle body 10 has more space and operation methods. For example, the rotating shaft is transversely inserted into the mounting seat 21, so that the rotating shaft is rotatably connected with the mounting seat 21, and the rotating shaft is inserted into the wheel 22, so that the wheel 22 can rotate relative to the mounting seat 21 and drive the vehicle body 10 to move. In other embodiments, the vehicle body 10 and the wheel 22 can also be connected by other methods, and the above-mentioned rotating shaft scheme is only one of the wheel 22 installation methods.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the wheel 22 is configured as a universal roller structure. In this way, the vehicle body 10 can move in all directions, the movement of the vehicle body 10 is more flexible, and actions such as turning around can be achieved in a narrow space.

[0036] Furthermore, the wheel assembly 20 includes at least four mounting seats 21 and corresponding four wheels 22. The vehicle body 10 is a rectangular structure, and the four mounting seats 21 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the bottom surface of the vehicle body 10. In this way, the four wheels 22 can provide a stable support effect for the wheel assembly 20, making the process of carrying the vehicle 210 more stable, and avoiding problems such as the vehicle 210 tilting.

[0037] Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the wheel assembly 20 can also be configured as three mounting seats 21 and three wheels 22, and the lines connecting the three mounting seats 21 form a triangle, and the stability characteristics of the triangular structure are used to support the stable movement of the vehicle body 10, while reducing costs.

[0038] In order to facilitate the movement of the vehicle body 10 to the bottom of the car 210, the height of the wheels 22 protruding from the ground of the vehicle body 10 and the thickness of the vehicle body 10 itself are set to be less than 100 mm, that is, the overall height of the vehicle body 10 is less than 100 mm.

[0039] The lifting assembly 30 includes a plurality of positioning pins 31, which are used to abut against the bottom of the car 210. The plurality of positioning pins 31 are arranged in an array at intervals on both sides of the width direction of the vehicle body 10. The positioning pins 31 can be lifted upward and abut against the bottom of the car 210, thereby lifting the car 210. The provision of the plurality of positioning pins 31 can make the lifting and carrying actions of the car 210 by the parking robot 100 more stable, ensuring that the car 210 will not slide or tilt during the transportation process.

[0040] Preferably, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly 30 includes 6 positioning pins 31, and the 6 positioning pins 31 are divided into two groups and installed on both sides of the width direction of the vehicle body 10, and each group includes 3 positioning pins 31, and the 3 positioning pins 31 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the vehicle body 10, so as to provide stable lifting for the automobile 210.

[0041] The vehicle body 10 is also provided with a plurality of hollows 11, which penetrate the upper and lower sides of the vehicle body 10. In this way, the vehicle body 10 can be lightweighted, and the consumables of the vehicle body 10 can be reduced. After the weight of the vehicle body 10 is reduced, its power consumption can also be reduced to improve its endurance.

[0042] The utility model also provides a parking system 200, comprising the parking robot 100 and a car 210 as described above.

[0043] See also Figure 8A fixing hole 211 is provided on the bottom surface of the automobile 210, and the lifting assembly 30 includes a plurality of positioning pins 31, and the position of each fixing hole 211 corresponds to the position of the positioning pin 31. In this way, the positioning pin 31 can be lifted into the fixing hole 211, and the hole wall of the fixing hole 211 and the outer peripheral wall of the positioning pin 31 can be engaged and limited, so as to further improve the abutment stability between the lifting assembly 30 and the automobile 210.

[0044] Of course, in the above embodiment, the fixing holes 211 may not be provided on the bottom surface of the automobile 210. Since the chassis of the automobile 210 has multiple stress points during the manufacturing process, the positioning pins 31 can lift the automobile 210 only by lifting the stress points.

[0045] See also Figure 6-Figure 7 In order to allow the positioning pin 31 to stably extend into the fixing hole 211 , the parking robot 100 further includes a positioning sensor 50 , which is connected to the vehicle body 10 and installed on the axis of the positioning pin 31 .

[0046] The positioning sensor 50 can detect whether the projection of the positioning pin 31 in the axial direction is in the fixing hole 211, and ensure that the projection of the positioning pin 31 is already in the fixing hole 211, that is, when the positioning pin 31 can accurately extend into the fixing hole 211, an electrical signal is sent to make the positioning pin 31 lift up and extend into the fixing hole 211, and then lift the car 210.

[0047] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are at least three positioning sensors 50, and the three positioning sensors 50 are respectively installed on the axes of the three positioning pins 31, and the lines between the three positioning sensors 50 form a triangle. The three positioning sensors 50 that can form a triangle can lock the spatial position and form accurate positioning.

[0048] Of course, in order to further ensure the positioning accuracy, in other embodiments, the positioning sensors 50 may be increased to 4, 5 or 6, and are not limited to the above three implementation schemes.

[0049] It should be explained that the above-mentioned car 210 with the fixing holes 211 can be improved for the existing car 210 to open the holes, or it can be directly shipped with a car chassis compatible with the positioning pins 31 of the parking robot 100 during mass production.

[0050] Compared with the prior art, the utility model lifts the car 210 through the lifting assembly 30 arranged on the car body 10, and drives the car 210 to move through the car body 10. The operating table 40 can facilitate personnel to operate the parking robot 100. The personnel can stand on the car body 10, interact with the operating table 40, and operate the wheel assembly 20 and the lifting assembly 30 through the operating table 40, so that the car body 10 can move to the bottom of the car 210, thereby carrying and moving the car 210. When the car 210 stops in the parking lot or other paths where vehicles need to pass and blocks traffic, the parking robot 100 can move the car 210 to restore normal traffic, and can also adjust the parking of the cars 210 in the parking lot to make their parking locations more regular and reasonable, so that the parking lot can accommodate more cars 210. The universal wheels make the parking robot 100 more flexible in operation, the positioning pin 31 and the fixing hole 211 cooperate to make the parking robot 100 more stable in lifting the car 210, and the positioning sensor 50 allows the positioning pin 31 and the fixing hole 211 to be stably plugged.

[0051] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
