[0051] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with embodiments of the present invention.

[0052] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting.

[0053] In this document, ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” used in this invention are merely identifiers and do not have any other meaning, such as a specific order.

[0054] To fully understand the embodiments of this utility model, a detailed structure will be presented in the following description. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this utility model is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.

[0055] This invention provides a parking device. The parking device lifts a vehicle and places it on the vehicle carrier 123 of the parking rack 120, thus completing vehicle storage. The parking device can also lift the vehicle off the vehicle carrier 123, thereby moving the vehicle to the retrieval area for retrieval, without needing to move the vehicle carrier 123, resulting in high efficiency in both parking and retrieval. Furthermore, the parking device eliminates the need for connecting driveways between different levels, and its size is compact.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The parking equipment includes a parking rack 120. The parking rack 120 is a steel frame structure. The parking rack 120 includes at least two parking levels 128. The at least two parking levels 128 are arranged sequentially in a vertical direction.

[0057] Specifically, the parking rack 120 includes vertical columns 121 and parking levels 128. The parking levels 128 are frame structures. The parking levels 128 are arranged horizontally. At least two parking levels 128 are arranged vertically at intervals from the vertical columns 121. The spacing between adjacent parking levels 128 can be predetermined based on the height of the vehicles to be parked.

[0058] The vertical column 121 and the parking level 128 can be welded together or fixed together with fasteners (such as bolts). This makes the parking rack 120 strong.

[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each parking level 128 has at least two parking frames 122. Each parking frame 122 is provided with a vehicle carrier 123. Vehicles can be parked on the vehicle carrier 123 and the bottom wall 111 of the manhole 110 (described below). That is, the vehicle carrier 123 and the bottom wall 111 of the manhole 110 (described below) constitute a parking space. In each parking level 128, the space directly above the parking space constitutes a placement space 127.

[0060] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The parking equipment also includes a transport structure. The transport structure is used to transport vehicles between different parking levels 128. The transport structure includes a lifting device 130. The lifting device 130 includes a lifting frame 131 and a lifting drive assembly. The lifting frame 131 is movably arranged in the vertical direction. For example, the lifting frame 131 is connected to the parking rack 120. The lifting drive assembly is connected to the lifting frame 131 to drive the lifting frame 131 to move vertically. The lifting drive assembly can be existing technology. For example, the lifting drive assembly can drive a lifting motor to drive cooperating sprockets and chains, or drive a wire rope, thereby driving the lifting frame 131 to rise and fall. The lifting drive assembly can also be a hydraulic lifting device.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transport structure also includes a holding device 140. The holding device 140 is mounted on the lifting frame 131 so that the lifting frame 131 can move the holding device 140 vertically. The holding device 140 can hold a vehicle. In this way, the transport structure can transport vehicles between different parking levels 128 to place vehicles on different parking levels 128.

[0062] In this embodiment, the vehicle is held by the holding device 140 and then moved vertically by the lifting frame 131. In this way, the vehicle can be placed on different parking levels 128 without the need to set up driving channels connecting different parking levels 128, and the parking equipment for storing vehicles is small in size.

[0063] Alternatively, please refer to Figures 1 to 3The parking frame 120 is equipped with a lifting channel 124. The lifting channel 124 extends vertically. The lifting frame 131 is located within the lifting channel 124.

[0064] Each parking level 128 has multiple parking frames 122. In each parking level 128, the multiple parking frames 122 are arranged sequentially around the lifting channel 124.

[0065] The holding device 140 includes a holding assembly 150 and a rotating assembly 160. The rotating assembly 160 is connected to the lifting frame 131. The holding assembly 150 is movably mounted on the rotating assembly 160 in a horizontal direction. The rotating assembly 160 can drive the holding assembly 150 to rotate. The holding assembly 150 can clamp the wheels of the vehicle, thereby lifting the vehicle. In this way, depending on the current parking space position, the rotating assembly 160 can rotate the following translation frame 153 to a position directly opposite the parking space, thereby horizontally moving the following translation frame 153 to realize vehicle parking and retrieval.

[0066] Optionally, the slewing assembly 160 includes a support ring 161, a movable ring 162, and rolling elements. The support ring 161 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the lifting frame 131. The movable ring 162 is rotatably fitted onto the support ring 161, thereby being rotatably connected to the support ring 161. The movable ring 162 is fixedly connected to the holding assembly 150. The rolling elements can be steel columns or balls. The rolling elements are located between the movable ring 162 and the support ring 161. Therefore, the rotation of the slewing assembly 160 is smoother.

[0067] Furthermore, the support ring 161 is fixed at the middle position of the lifting frame 131, so that the movable ring 162 is located at the middle position of the lifting frame 131. In this way, the translation frame 153 and the vehicle it transports can rotate smoothly during the rotation of the movable ring 162.

[0068] Furthermore, the conveying structure also includes a rotary drive assembly. The rotary drive assembly is connected to the lifting frame 131 and the movable ring 162 to drive the movable ring 162 to rotate.

[0069] The rotary drive assembly includes a rotary motor and a gear. The rotary motor is connected to the lifting frame 131. The gear is connected to the output shaft of the rotary motor. The movable ring 162 is provided with a toothed portion. The toothed portion can be an internal gear ring or an external gear ring. The gear meshes with the toothed portion of the movable ring 162. In this way, the rotary motor drives the gear to rotate, thereby driving the movable ring 162 to rotate, and further driving the movable ring 162 to rotate around the axis of the support ring 161. Thus, the rotation angle of the movable ring 162 can be accurately controlled.

[0070] Optionally, the holding assembly 150 includes a translation frame 153. The translation frame 153 is movably disposed horizontally on the movable ring 162. Thus, when the lifting frame 131 moves vertically to the height of the parking level where the vehicle to be stored is located, the translation frame 153 can be moved horizontally to allow the first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 (described later) to move above the vehicle carrier plate 123 of the current parking level. In this way, the translation frame 153 can place the vehicle it is carrying on the vehicle carrier plate 123 to realize vehicle parking (storage), or lift the vehicle off the vehicle carrier plate 123, thereby enabling the vehicle to be transported from the vehicle carrier plate 123 to the retrieval area to complete vehicle retrieval.

[0071] In other words, the parking and retrieval operations can be completed by moving the lifting frame 131 and the translation frame 153. The parking and retrieval process does not require moving the vehicle platform 123, so the parking and retrieval efficiency is high.

[0072] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transport structure also includes a guide rail 170. The guide rail 170 is connected to the movable ring 162. The guide rail 170 extends horizontally along its length. The length direction of the guide rail 170 is parallel to the direction of movement of the translation frame 153. The guide rail 170 extends from the movable ring 162 toward the parking frame 122. The translation frame 153 is provided with a slider. The slider of the translation frame 153 is connected to the guide rail 170. Thus, the holding assembly 150 is slidably connected to the guide rail 170. The guide rail 170 can guide the movement of the translation frame 153. Therefore, the movement of the translation frame 153 is smooth.

[0073] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in each parking level 128, multiple parking frames 122 are arranged sequentially around the lifting channel 124. The translation frame 153 is located within the lifting channel 124, enabling faster parking and retrieval of vehicles. Furthermore, each parking level 128 is provided with a ring of parking frames 122.

[0074] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the holding assembly 150 includes a first holding arm 151 and a second holding arm 152. The length directions of both the first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 are parallel to the movement direction of the translation frame 153. The first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 are spaced apart. Thus, when the translation frame 153 moves horizontally, the first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 can be moved between the vehicle body and the vehicle platform 123. The first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 are movably connected to the translation frame 153 in the horizontal direction. The movement direction of the first holding arm 151 is parallel to the movement direction of the second holding arm 152. The movement direction of the first holding arm 151 and the movement direction of the translation frame 153 form an angle (e.g., perpendicular). The movement direction of the second holding arm 152 and the movement direction of the translation frame 153 form an angle (e.g., perpendicular). At this time, by bringing the first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 closer together in the horizontal direction, they can hold the wheel. When it is necessary to release the wheel, the first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 can be moved away from each other to release the wheel. Thus, the structure of the holding assembly 150 is simple.

[0075] Furthermore, the length of the first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 is greater than the width of the vehicle body. The holding assembly 150 includes two sets of first holding arms 151 and second holding arms 152. One set of first holding arms 151 and second holding arms 152 holds the two front wheels of the vehicle. The other set of first holding arms 151 and second holding arms 152 holds the two rear wheels. Thus, the translation frame 153 can stably transport the vehicle.

[0076] Optionally, the conveying structure further includes a gripping drive assembly. The gripping drive assembly includes a gripping motor and a gripping transmission component. The gripping transmission component may include a gripping gear and a rack. The output shaft of the gripping motor is connected to the gripping gear to drive its rotation. The gripping gear and rack mesh to drive the rack to move. The rack is connected to the first gripping arm 151 and the second gripping arm 152 to drive the first gripping arm 151 and the second gripping arm 152 to move.

[0077] It is understood that, in embodiments not shown, the holding transmission component can be a chain drive, a hydraulic drive, or the like.

[0078] The transport structure also includes a translation drive assembly. The translation drive assembly is connected to the translation frame 153 and the movable ring 162 to drive the translation frame 153 to move. The translation drive assembly can be a motor-driven rack and pinion structure, a motor-driven chain drive, or a hydraulic transmission.

[0079] Optionally, a guide post 132 is provided on the lifting frame 131. The length direction of the guide post 132 is parallel to the horizontal direction. The guide post 132 is movably connected to the vertical column 121. In this way, the guide post 132 can move along the length direction of the vertical column 121. Thus, the guide post 132 and the vertical column 121 cooperate to guide the vertical movement of the lifting frame 131, thereby making the movement of the lifting frame 131 smooth.

[0080] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The parking frame 122 is a roughly rectangular frame. The parking frame 122 has a long frame 125 and a short frame 126. The long frame 125 corresponds to the side of the vehicle. The short frame 126 corresponds to the end face of the vehicle. In the horizontal direction, one long frame 125 is closer to the lifting frame 131 than the short frame 126. Thus, when the vehicle is placed on the carrier plate 123, the front of the vehicle is located at one short frame 126, the rear of the vehicle is located at the other short frame 126, one side of the vehicle is located at one long frame 125, and the other side of the vehicle is located at the other long frame 125. Thus, one side of the vehicle placed on the carrier plate 123 faces the lifting channel 124. The first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 can extend from the side of the vehicle under the vehicle body to transport the vehicle body. At this time, the length direction of the first holding arm 151 and the length direction of the second holding arm 152 are both parallel to the wheel axis. In this way, the force arm of the vehicle on the translation frame 153 is small, and the first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 can move the vehicle body more stably.

[0081] The short frame 126 includes a first end 133 and a second end 134 facing away from each other. The first end 133 is closer to the lifting frame 131 than the second end 134. That is, the second end 134 is further away from the lifting frame 131 than the first end 133.

[0082] Parking level 128 also includes reinforcing columns 129. In two circumferentially adjacent parking frames 122 located on the same level 128, the first ends 133 of the two parking frames 122 are connected. The adjacent second ends 134 of the two parking frames 122 are connected by reinforcing columns 129. Therefore, parking level 128 has high strength.

[0083] Optionally, the parking equipment also includes a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the lifting drive assembly, the slewing drive assembly, the translation drive assembly, and the holding drive assembly to control the operation of the lifting drive assembly, the slewing drive assembly, the translation drive assembly, and the holding drive assembly.

[0084] The controller can control the slewing drive assembly and the lifting drive assembly to work simultaneously. This can shorten the time for parking and retrieving vehicles.

[0085] It is understood that, in embodiments not shown, the controller can control the operation of the rotary drive assembly and the lifting drive assembly in stages.

[0086] Optionally, when the lifting frame 131 moves within the lifting channel 124, the translation frame 153 and the vehicle it transports are positioned at the center of the lifting frame 131. This allows for smooth vertical transport of the vehicle.

[0087] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the projection shape of each parking level 128 onto a plane perpendicular to the vertical direction is a polygon (the number of edges of the polygon is greater than or equal to 3). That is, in each parking level 128, multiple parking frames 122 surround to form a polygon. At least one parking frame 122 is provided at each edge of the polygon. The length direction of the parking frame 122 is parallel to the edge. The width direction of the parking frame 122 is parallel to the radial direction of the polygon. Therefore, the parking level 128 has high strength.

[0088] In an embodiment not shown, each parking level has at least two concentric rings of parking frames. At least two parking frames in each ring are arranged circumferentially around the lift channel. The at least two concentric rings of parking frames are arranged concentrically. In this case, the transport structure needs to transport vehicles located in the outer ring of parking frames via the inner ring of parking frames. The outer ring of parking frames is further away from the lift channel than the inner ring of parking frames. This increases the number of vehicles that can be stored. In this case, both the first and second holding arms can be telescopic structures.

[0089] In this embodiment (not shown), when parking, vehicles are preferentially placed in the parking bays located on the outer ring. When retrieving a vehicle, if both the inner and outer parking bays are occupied, and a vehicle in the outer parking bay needs to be retrieved, the transport structure first moves the vehicle in the inner parking bay to another vacant parking bay, and then moves the vehicle in the outer parking bay to a parking bay on the ground floor for the owner to retrieve.

[0090] This utility model also provides a parking garage. The parking garage includes a ground level 180 and an underground level 190. The underground level 190 includes a shaft 110 extending vertically downward from the ground level 191. The parking garage also includes the aforementioned parking equipment.

[0091] In this embodiment, the parking garage includes the aforementioned parking equipment. The vehicle is held by the holding device 140 and then moved vertically by the lifting frame 131. In this way, the vehicle can be placed on different parking levels 128 without the need to set up driving channels connecting different parking levels 128, and the parking equipment for storing vehicles is small in size.

[0092] like Figure 1As shown, the manhole 110 can be a reinforced concrete structure. The cross-section of the manhole 110 (parallel to the horizontal direction) is circular. The parking frame 120 is located inside the manhole 110. The bottom end of the vertical column 121 is connected to the bottom wall 111 of the manhole 110. Therefore, the parking equipment has high strength.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The ground floor 180 has a parking space 184. The top layer of the parking rack 120 is located at the parking space 184. Thus, the parking space 184 corresponds to the placement space 127 at the top parking level 128 of the parking rack 120. The placement space 127 at the top parking level 128 of the parking rack 120 is connected to the ground floor 180.

[0094] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper end of the ground level 180 is closed, thereby closing the upper end of the lifting channel 124. The ground level 180 is located above the ground surface 191. The underground level 190 is located below the ground surface 191. The ground level 180 is provided with a garage entrance. The garage entrance includes a garage entrance 182 and a garage exit 183. The garage entrance connects the parking space 184 to the external environment. In this way, vehicles can enter and exit the parking equipment through the garage entrance. The ground level 180 also has a pedestrian passage. People using vehicles can enter and exit the parking equipment through the pedestrian passage. In this way, people using vehicles can reach the parking space 127 (retrieval area) of the ground level 180 to park or retrieve their vehicles. This facilitates the identification of the parking equipment's location, thereby facilitating vehicle parking or retrieval.

[0095] The placement space 127 of the ground level 180 can temporarily store vehicles. The transport structure can move vehicles between the placement space 127 of the ground level 180 and the placement space 127 of the underground level 190. It is understood that after the underground level 190 is full of vehicles, the ground level 180 can also be used for vehicle storage. In this case, the placement space 127 at at least one vehicle-carrying platform 123 of the ground level 180 is used as a space for temporary vehicle storage. Furthermore, the parking rack 120 has a single-layer structure on the ground level 180. The parking rack 120 has at least two layers on the underground level 190. Therefore, the space occupied by the parking equipment above the ground level 191 can be minimized as much as possible.

[0096] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the ground floor 180 has a ring-shaped passageway 181. The ring-shaped passageway 181 is fitted within the parking space 184. The garage entrance is connected to the parking space 184 via the ring-shaped passageway 181. Each placement space 127 of the ground floor 180 has its end furthest from the lifting passageway 124 connected to the ring-shaped passageway 181. This facilitates parking and retrieval of vehicles.

[0097] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a portion of the bottom wall 111 of the manhole 110 forms a parking space for parking vehicles. The middle portion of the bottom wall 111 of the manhole 110 is recessed downward to form a pit 112. A transport structure can enter the pit 112 to transport vehicles placed on the bottom wall 111 of the manhole 110.

[0098] When parking a vehicle, the owner parks the vehicle in the parking space located on the ground floor 180 and leaves. The lifting frame 131 then moves to the ground floor 180. During the movement of the lifting frame 131, the movable ring 162 rotates so that the translation frame 153 faces the placement space 127 where the vehicle to be parked is located.

[0099] The translation frame 153 moves to bring the first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 under the vehicle. The first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 hold the vehicle's wheels. The lifting frame 131 moves to lift the vehicle so that it can be moved away from the vehicle carrier platform 123. The translation frame 153 moves to move the vehicle away from the placement space 127. The lifting frame 131 moves downward to the parking level 128 where the vehicle is to be placed. During the movement of the lifting frame 131, the movable ring 162 rotates so that the translation frame 153 faces the parking space of the vehicle to be placed. The translation frame 153 moves to move the vehicle to the placement space 127 at the vehicle carrier platform 123. The lifting frame 131 moves to place the vehicle on the vehicle carrier platform 123. The first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 release their grip on the wheels, and the translation frame 153 moves to return the first holding arm 151 and the second holding arm 152 to the lifting channel 124, completing the vehicle storage.

[0100] When retrieving a vehicle, the lifting platform 131 moves to the parking level 128 where the vehicle is located.
