Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent automated parking system equipment, and in particular to a lifting-type vehicle blocking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in car ownership, the parking problem has become increasingly prominent. Intelligent automated parking systems, as an efficient parking solution, have been widely adopted. However, existing intelligent automated parking systems lack effective vehicle restraint measures during parking, which can easily lead to inaccurate vehicle positioning, causing slippage or displacement during the lifting process, posing safety hazards. Therefore, a new type of vehicle restraint mechanism is needed to ensure the safe parking of vehicles in intelligent automated parking systems.

[0003] On November 23, 2024, using "lifting and vehicle blocking and gear and rack and parking" as the abstract keywords and selecting the option to allow synonym expansion, a search was conducted in the China Patent Publication Database, and two documents were found: CN2622323Y A type of lift-type three-dimensional parking garage; CN208251743U Vehicle blocking device for lift.

[0004] CN208251743U, a vehicle-stopping device for elevators, provides a device for stopping vehicles in warehouse-type mechanical garage elevators to prevent them from overshooting the elevator car and parking outside the car. It includes a motor, a front deflector plate, a rack, gears, guide rollers, a motor base, and a front deflector plate support. This invention uses rack and pinion transmission to raise the front deflector plate above the car's travel surface, causing the vehicle's front wheels to contact the front deflector plate, thus stopping the vehicle. Two sets of guide rollers are arranged on the back of the rack to ensure smooth rack movement. The front deflector plate and its support have a certain clearance fit, allowing for...

[0005] The windshield top panel can be guided by the mating surface during its up-and-down movement, achieving smooth vertical movement. The drawback of this technology is that, with the windshield top panel laid flat on the parking surface, it is easily missed or damaged.

[0006] On November 23, 2024, an abstract search was conducted on CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) for the keywords "lifting and braking and gear and rack and parking", but no relevant literature was found.

[0007] On November 23, 2024, a search was conducted on the website of the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the term "Lifting with blocking with gears with racks with parking", but no relevant literature was found; the search URL is https: / / ppubs.uspto.gov / pubwebapp / .

[0008] On November 23, 2024, a search was conducted on the Korean Patent Office website for the term "Lifting and blocking and gears and racks and parking"; the search URL is http: / / eng.kipris.or.kr / enghome / main.jsp; application number: 1020207005662 Detection method and system in industrial IoT big data acquisition environment; application number: 1020100140858 Prefabricated sunshade roof for outdoor parking lot and method for manufacturing sunshade roof, which are unrelated to this patent.

[0009] On November 23, 2024, a search on WIPO's website https: / / patentscope2.wipo.int / for the term "Lifting and blocking and gears and racks and parking" revealed: App I.No202011014982.1, "Parking Lot Vehicle Rapid Passage Device and System." This concept is completely different from that of this patent. Utility Model Content

[0013] The drive motor 4 is a forward and reverse reversible motor, and a gear 2 is arranged on the power output shaft of the drive motor 4;

[0014] Gear 2 meshes with rack 3, and a lifting and braking plate 1 is fixed above rack 3;

[0015] The lifting barrier 1 can pass through the hole extending from the parking platform; the edge of the hole in the parking platform is provided with hole edge protrusion 7.

[0016] A further technical solution of this utility model is that the gear 2 is a cylindrical gear.

[0017] A further technical solution of this utility model is that the back of the rack 3 has a guide groove that cooperates with the fixed guide shaft to achieve the smoothness of the rack 3's up and down movement.

[0018] A further technical solution of this utility model is that an upper limit proximity switch 5 and a lower limit proximity switch 6 are arranged on the parking platform; the upper limit proximity switch 5 and the lower limit proximity switch 6 can realize the position detection used to realize the up and down movement of its lifting and lowering vehicle blocking plate 1.

[0019] A further technical solution of this utility model is that the top of the lifting and stopping plate 1 is an arc-shaped surface.

Fixing methods not described herein can be any type of fixing, such as threaded fixing, bolt fixing, or adhesive bonding.

[0030] Example 1: Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A lifting-type vehicle-stopping mechanism, characterized in that:

[0031] The lifting vehicle blocking mechanism includes a drive motor 4 mounted on a fixed base plate; the fixed base plate is located below the parking platform.

[0032] The drive motor 4 is a forward and reverse reversible motor, and a gear 2 is arranged on the power output shaft of the drive motor 4;

[0033] Gear 2 meshes with rack 3, and a lifting and braking plate 1 is fixed above rack 3;

[0034] The lifting barrier plate 1 can pass through the hole extending from the parking platform. The substantive technical effect and implementation process of this technical solution, i.e., its basic function, are as follows:

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] Before a vehicle enters the rotating platform of the intelligent automated parking garage, the control system detects a no-vehicle signal, activates the drive unit, and drives the lifting device to raise the barrier. The vehicle then drives into the parking platform, where the barrier restricts its final stopping position. When the vehicle needs to exit the parking platform, the control system activates the drive unit again, driving the lifting device to lower the barrier, allowing the vehicle to exit smoothly.

[0037] Technical advantages:

[0038] - Improved parking safety: The lifting and blocking mechanism effectively prevents vehicles from sliding or shifting during the lifting and lowering process, thus improving parking safety.

[0039] - Space saving: The vehicle blocking mechanism can be lowered when not in use, without taking up extra space, thus improving the space utilization rate of the intelligent automated parking system.

[0040] - Easy to operate: The control system can automatically control the vehicle blocking mechanism, which is simple and convenient to operate and improves parking efficiency.

[0041] Example 2: As a further improvement, parallel, or optional independent solution, the gear 2 is a cylindrical gear. The substantial technical effect and implementation process of this technical solution are as follows: the cylindrical gear structure has sufficient strength to provide support force.

[0042] Example 3: As a further improvement, parallel solution, or optional independent solution, the back of rack 3 has a guide groove that mates with the fixed guide shaft to ensure the smooth up-and-down movement of rack 3. The substantial technical effect and implementation process of this technical solution are as follows: The fixed guide shaft is located below the parking platform and also has a certain strength support function to ensure that the lifting and lowering vehicle blocking plate 1 moves smoothly up and down without breaking.

[0043] Example 4: As a further improvement, parallel solution, or alternative, a unique solution

[0044] The proposed solution includes an upper limit proximity switch 5 and a lower limit proximity switch 6 installed on the parking platform. These switches are used to detect the position of the lifting and lowering vehicle blocking plate 1. The substantive technical effect and implementation process of this solution are as follows: The control system employs advanced sensors and controllers, enabling automatic control of the vehicle blocking mechanism.

[0045] Example 5: As a further improvement, parallel, or optional independent solution, the top of the lifting vehicle stop plate 1 is an arc-shaped surface. The substantial technical effect and implementation process of this technical solution are as follows: facilitating easy contact.

[0046] Example 6: As a further improvement, parallel, or optional independent solution, it also includes a control system, which is communicatively connected to the drive motor 4.

[0047] The wheel stop plate is made of high-strength material, possessing excellent resistance to pressure and impact. The lifting device, composed of gears, racks, and guide grooves, enables the wheel stop plate to be raised and lowered. The drive unit is a motor, providing power to the lifting device.

[0048] In summary: When parking, the owner issues a parking instruction in front of the garage, or uses an infrared scanner to automatically detect if a vehicle is approaching. Then, the lifting barrier mechanism automatically rises, and the vehicle is considered parked when the front tires of the vehicle touch the barrier.

[0049] When retrieving your vehicle, press the retrieval button after confirming that there are no obstacles around. The lifting and blocking mechanism will automatically lower upon receiving the instruction, allowing you to safely drive your vehicle out of the storage area.
