Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this solution without creative effort are within the protection scope of this solution.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment designs a multi-level car garage, including a control console 3, a garage body 4, a vehicle lift 2, and a parking robot 1; the vehicle lift 2 is located on the front side of the garage body 4. The parking garage can be a dedicated parking warehouse or a ground-level parking shed in some densely populated areas.

[0032] The main garage body 4 is primarily used for parking cars such as sedans and SUVs. The main garage body 4 includes a garage frame 44 and partition panels 42. The garage frame 44 is generally a steel frame structure with multiple parking levels arranged vertically within it, typically three or four levels. Each parking level has multiple parking spaces, each accommodating one car. Partition panels 42 are installed between adjacent parking levels, each serving as the floor for the parking level above, thus supporting the cars. Multiple horizontally parallel parking zones can be set on the same garage frame 44, with multiple parking spaces in each zone. Alternatively, multiple garage frames 44 can be arranged horizontally side-by-side. The height of each parking level is generally 1.9m ± 10cm.

[0033] A horizontally arranged track groove 43 is provided on the front side of the garage frame 44. When multiple garage frames 44 are arranged side by side, the track grooves 43 of adjacent garage frames 44 are connected to each other, thereby facilitating the movement of the vehicle lifter 2 between multiple garage frames 44 along the track groove 43.

[0034] The vehicle lift 2 includes a transverse support 24 and a lifting platform 21. The transverse support 24 is slidably connected to the track groove 43, and an electric traveling wheel 23 is provided at the bottom of the transverse support 24. The electric traveling wheel 23 is a roller with a built-in motor. When the electric traveling wheel 23 is energized, the transverse support 24 slides laterally along the track groove 43 to facilitate the transverse movement of the lifting platform 21 to different parking spaces, which is beneficial for direct parking of vehicles. The lifting platform 21 is raised and lowered on the transverse support 24. When the lifting platform 21 is lowered to its lowest position, the front side of the lifting platform 21 is connected to the ground through the loading and unloading bridge plate 22. When the lifting platform 21 is raised to the partition plate 42 at different heights, the rear side of the lifting platform 21 is connected to the corresponding partition plate 42. The design load weight of the lifting platform 21 during use is generally 2000-5000 kg.

[0035] The parking robot 1 can lift a car and move it onto the lifting platform 21 or a parking space. The parking robot 1 can be the parking robot 1 described in patents CN107762216A, CN210264098U, or CN115387652A, or other commercially available products. This parking robot 1 is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The parking robot 1 includes a lifting platform, a car chassis, and robot wheels. The lifting platform is connected to the car chassis via an electric cylinder or a scissor lift mechanism, allowing the lifting platform to move up and down relative to the car chassis, facilitating the lifting platform to lift the car from under the car chassis. The car chassis is connected to the robot wheels for movement via the robot wheels. The robot wheels can be rollers with built-in motors. When powered by a battery or other power source, the robot wheels are controlled by a microprocessor integrated into the parking robot 1. The electric cylinder is also controlled by the microprocessor for lifting and lowering. The microprocessor can wirelessly communicate with the control console 3 for remote control of the parking robot 1.

[0036] The control console 3 is generally fixedly installed on the front side of the garage main body 4. Alternatively, the control console 3 can also be installed on the left or right side of the lifting platform 21, allowing the control console 3 to move up and down with the lifting platform 21. The control console 3 can control the vehicle lift 2 and the parking robot 1. A touch screen is provided on the control console 3, and a PLC controller or industrial computer is installed inside the control console 3. The touch screen can send control commands to the PLC controller or industrial computer, thereby controlling the left and right movement of the transverse support 24. The control console 3 can also control the lifting position of the lifting platform 21. The PLC controller or industrial computer can also have built-in control programs to achieve automatic control. During automatic control, the vehicle position and the location of vacant parking spaces can be determined using existing equipment such as position sensors and cameras to facilitate parking operations.

[0037] As one of the preferred structures in this embodiment: the top of the garage frame 44 is connected to a canopy 41, which is inclined and higher in the front than in the back; the canopies 41 of adjacent garage bodies 4 are connected to each other. The canopies 41 can be used to shield rainwater and fallen leaves, and the inclined canopy 41 facilitates rainwater drainage; the canopies 41 of adjacent garage bodies 4 are connected to each other, thereby preventing rainwater from falling from adjacent canopies 41.

[0038] As one of the preferred structures in this embodiment: a transverse support rod 29 is vertically fixedly connected to the rear side of the transverse support 24, and a track wheel is provided at the rear end of the transverse support rod 29. The track wheel extends into the track groove 43 so that the transverse support 24 slides in the track groove 43.

[0039] The rear side of the transverse support 24 is vertically connected to a transverse support rod 29. The rear end of the transverse support rod 29 is provided with a track wheel. The track wheel extends into the track groove 43 so that the transverse support 24 slides in the track groove 43. The transverse support rod 29 can limit the trajectory of the transverse movement of the transverse support 24 and constrain the relative distance between the lifting platform 21 and the front edge of the partition plate 42 to ensure that the distance between the two is constant. This prevents the lifting platform 21 from moving backward when the vehicle moves from the lifting platform 21 to the parking space, which would cause the vehicle to fall between the lifting platform 21 and the partition plate 42.

[0040] As one of the preferred structures in this embodiment: a track groove 43 is provided at the front edge of each partition plate 42; each track groove 43 is slidably engaged with two sets of track wheels; the two sets of track wheels are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the transverse support 24.

[0041] As one of the preferred structures in this embodiment, the structure driving the lifting action of the lifting platform 21 can be of various types, such as winch drive, chain drive, belt drive, screw drive, etc. Specifically, the winch drive structure involves a winch installed on the top of the garage frame, with a steel cable connected to the lifting platform. When the winch is energized and rotates in both forward and reverse directions, it can control the lifting action of the lifting platform. The winch motor can be powered by a storage battery 28.

[0042] As one of the preferred structures in this embodiment: the transverse support 24 includes crossbars and columns; four columns are respectively arranged at the four corners of the lifting platform 21, and multiple crossbars connect adjacent columns. Grooves are provided on the columns, and slide rails 26 are arranged within the grooves. A slide platform 27 is fixedly arranged on the side of the lifting platform, and the slide platform 27 slides in cooperation with the slide rails 26. Alternatively, when the slide rails 26 are not provided, pulleys can be provided on the slide platform 27 along the edge of the lifting platform, with the pulleys extending into the grooves, thereby using the pulleys to guide and limit the movement of the lifting platform 21.

[0043] When using the multi-story parking garage in this plan:

[0044] Move the vehicle lift 2 laterally so that the lift platform 21 is positioned below the corresponding parking space. Lower the lift platform 21 to its lowest position so that the owner can move the vehicle onto the lift platform 21 via the loading / unloading bridge 22. The owner can remotely control the parking robot 1 to position it under the car, then lift the car and move it onto the lift platform 21. Powering on the winch 25 causes the lift platform 21 to move upward a certain distance or for a certain period, connecting the rear of the lift platform 21 with the partition 42 of the vacant parking space. Remotely control the parking robot 1 again to move the car into the parking space and lower it, thus completing the parking process. Retrieving the car is the reverse operation.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation; it is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom remain within the scope of this technology.
