Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy vehicle charging technology, and more specifically, to a charging multi-level parking garage. Background Technology
[0002] With the country's vigorous development of the new energy industry and the advantages of new energy vehicles in energy conservation and environmental protection, new energy vehicles will gradually replace fuel vehicles in the future. As the number of new energy vehicles increases, urban development often cannot keep up with the speed of automobile development. The problems of parking difficulties, charging difficulties, and long queues in cities have been troubling car owners. For example, when going to shopping malls or running errands, finding parking spaces and charging stations takes a lot of time and causes a lot of inconvenience, causing distress for new energy vehicle owners. Multi-story parking garages are set up in city centers, but they generally do not have charging functions because vehicles need to be transferred to higher floors by mechanical equipment. However, it is difficult to achieve automatic charging of vehicles in higher floors with current technology. The mainstream charging method for new energy vehicles is still achieved by car owners connecting the charging equipment to the vehicle's charging port themselves. In addition, existing charging stations are difficult to build on a large scale in city centers due to their large site area, and cannot meet the parking and charging needs of new energy vehicles simultaneously in the limited space of city centers. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies that cannot simultaneously meet the parking and charging needs of new energy vehicles in urban centers with limited land area, and to provide a charging multi-level parking garage that occupies a small area while simultaneously meeting the parking and charging needs of new energy vehicles.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A charging-equipped automated parking system is provided, including...
[0006] Vehicle-mounted mechanism, used for parking vehicles;
[0007] A transfer mechanism for transferring the vehicle-mounted mechanism, which is detachably connected to the vehicle-mounted mechanism;

[0054] Example 1
[0055] like Figures 1 to 10 The first embodiment of the present invention is a charging three-dimensional parking garage, which includes a vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 for parking vehicles 93.
[0056] Transfer mechanism 2 is used for transferring the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 and is detachably connected to the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1;
[0057] The lifting mechanism 3 is used to drive the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 to lift and lower in coordination with the vehicle 93, and is detachably connected to the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1.
[0058] The three-dimensional parking space 4 has at least two parking platforms 41, and each parking platform 41 has a number of parking units 411 arranged in sequence. Each parking unit 411 is used to provide a parking space for a vehicle-mounted mechanism 1.
[0059] A transverse mechanism 5 is provided for each parking platform 41. The transverse mechanism 5 is slidably connected to the parking platform 41 and is used to transfer the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 to different parking units 411.
[0060] The charging mechanism 6 is used to charge the vehicle 93, and is installed in the parking unit 411 and / or the on-board mechanism 1, and is electrically connected to the charging port of the vehicle 93.
[0061] The control system is used to control the normal operation of the charging automated parking garage, and is communicatively connected to the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, the transfer mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism 3, the traversing mechanism 5, and the charging mechanism 6.
[0062] The lifting mechanism 3 is located beside the three-dimensional parking space 4 or is installed inside the three-dimensional parking space 4. The lateral movement mechanism 5 is also located inside the three-dimensional parking space 4, and the lateral movement mechanism 5 is also located beside the lifting mechanism 3.
[0063] After vehicle 93 is parked on vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, transfer mechanism 2 transfers vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 to the corresponding parking platform 41 via lifting mechanism 3, and then transfers vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 to parking unit 411 via lateral movement mechanism 5 and transfer mechanism 2.
[0064] The charging multi-level parking garage of this utility model is mainly divided into two areas. One area is the multi-level parking space 4, and the other area is the vehicle handover area 8. The vehicle handover area 8 is located outside the multi-level parking space 4. A sunken space 81 is provided in the vehicle handover area 8. The surface of the recessed part of the sunken space 81 is flush with the ground surface of the multi-level parking space 4. When the transfer mechanism 2 is located in the sunken space 81, the upper surface of the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 on the transfer mechanism 2 is flush with the ground. The present invention comprises multiple vehicle-mounted mechanisms 1. In the initial state, multiple vehicle-mounted mechanisms 1 are arranged side by side in the vehicle handover area 8. Each vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 has a corresponding transfer mechanism 2 at its bottom. When the vehicle owner parks the vehicle 93 in the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, the control mechanism sends a command to the transfer mechanism 2, causing the transfer mechanism 2 to move the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 and the vehicle 93 to the lifting mechanism 3. Based on the parking platform 41 level where the vacant parking unit 411 in the three-dimensional parking space 4 is located, the control mechanism causes the lifting mechanism 3 to lift the transfer mechanism 2 and the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 together to the corresponding parking platform 41 level. Then, the transfer mechanism 2 moves the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 to the lateral movement mechanism 5, and the control mechanism issues another command. The lateral movement mechanism 5 moves laterally to the corresponding parking unit 411. After the transfer mechanism 2 places the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 in the parking unit 411, the charging mechanism 6 charges the vehicle 93. Simultaneously, the transfer mechanism 2 returns to the lateral movement mechanism 5, which in turn drives the transfer mechanism 2 back to the lifting mechanism 3. The lifting mechanism 3 then lowers the transfer mechanism 2 to the ground level, and the transfer mechanism 2 returns to its initial position. When other vehicles 93 enter the charging multi-level parking garage, the same operation can be used to transfer them to the parking unit 411 and perform the charging operation. When the owner needs to retrieve the vehicle, the charging multi-level parking garage performs the reverse operation, transporting the vehicle 93 back to the vehicle handover area 8 to await the owner's retrieval. Of course, within the understanding of those skilled in the art, it is a preferred embodiment to have the vehicle handover area 8 located outside the multi-level parking space 4. Alternatively, the vehicle handover area 8 can be located inside the multi-level parking space 4, as part of the multi-level parking space 4, such as on the ground level. In this embodiment, each parking unit 411 corresponds to one vehicle-mounted mechanism 1. In the initial state, most of the vehicle-mounted mechanisms 1 are located in the parking unit 411, and only a few vehicle-mounted mechanisms 1 are set in the vehicle handover area 8 to facilitate the speed of vehicle 93 access. In the parking unit 411, a few vehicle-mounted mechanisms 1 are not set in order to accommodate this part of the vehicle-mounted mechanisms 1. When all the vehicle-mounted mechanisms 1 in this part of the vehicle handover area 8 return to the parking unit 411, the transfer mechanism 2 continuously transfers the vehicle-mounted mechanisms 1 of other parking units 411 to the vehicle handover area 8. If the charging multi-level parking garage is fully loaded, only when the vehicle 93 exits will there be a spare parking unit 411, and correspondingly a spare vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, so that the subsequent vehicle 93 can enter the charging multi-level parking garage for parking and charging.
[0065] In this embodiment, the first floor of the multi-level parking space 4 can be set up as a parking and charging area. Parking does not require passing through an upgrade mechanism, and there are two parking methods: one is that the owner directly parks the vehicle 93 in the corresponding parking unit 411, which is the function of a regular charging parking space; the other, to improve the owner's safety, allows the owner to transfer the vehicle 93 to the parking unit 411 via the transfer mechanism 2, without entering the multi-level parking space 4, simply omitting the use of the lifting mechanism 3 and the lateral movement mechanism 5. The first floor can also be set up as a functional area 91, such as a car wash area, or a similar functional area 91 can be set up outside the multi-level parking space 4; the second floor and above are parking and charging areas. Each parking unit 411 is independent and can be used at any time.
[0066] In one embodiment of this utility model, the transfer mechanism 2 includes a lifting part 21, detachably connected to the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, used to raise or lower the height of the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1; and a moving part 22, installed at the bottom of the lifting part 21, used for moving the lifting part 21. The lifting part 21 may include a motor and a lifting bracket. The top end of the lifting bracket is detachably connected to the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, and the bottom end is fixedly connected to the moving part 22. The motor is connected to the lifting bracket, which can be a fork-shaped structure with hinges. The motor drives the lifting bracket to rise or fall, thereby driving the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 to rise or fall. After falling, it can be folded relative to itself to save space. The moving part 22 includes a moving bracket and multiple wheels. The wheels are installed at the bottom of the moving bracket to facilitate movement of the moving bracket. The transfer mechanism 2 has a lifting and moving function. The lifting function facilitates the connection and fixation of the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 and the parking unit 411. When the transfer mechanism 2 places the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 into the parking unit 411, it is necessary to first raise the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 to a certain height and then lower it so that the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 can be hooked up with the parking unit 411.
[0067] As one embodiment of this utility model, the transverse movement mechanism 5 can slide in the track set at the edge of the corresponding parking platform 41 by driving the sprocket with a motor, thereby realizing the translation of the transverse movement mechanism 5.
[0068] In one embodiment of this utility model, multiple parking units 411 are arranged in rows to form parking groups, and multiple parking groups are parallel to each other to form a parking platform 41. A lateral movement mechanism 5 is provided between every two adjacent parking groups. Within the scope of knowledge of those skilled in the art, the specific layout structure of the three-dimensional parking space 4 includes, but is not limited to, the above-described situation. Depending on the size of its footprint, it can be reasonably adjusted to plan the most parking units 411 in the smallest possible footprint. Under normal circumstances, a row-and-column layout is a preferred solution.
[0069] In this embodiment, the charging mechanism 6 is located in the parking unit 411. The vehicle owner only needs to park the vehicle 93 in the vehicle 93 handover area 8 and then leave. After the vehicle 93 is transferred to the parking unit 411, the charging mechanism 6 connects the charging port of the vehicle 93 to the power source, enabling the power source to supply power to the vehicle 93. The charging mechanism 6 can be a robotic arm with multiple degrees of freedom, capable of automatically plugging and unplugging the charging gun from the charging port of the vehicle 93.
[0070] As one embodiment of this utility model, it also includes an energy storage space 92, in which an energy storage mechanism is placed to provide electrical energy to the charging mechanism 6. Preferably, the energy storage mechanism is also connected to an energy conversion mechanism, which includes, but is not limited to, the ability to convert wind energy and solar energy into electrical energy and then store it in the energy storage mechanism.
[0071] This invention greatly improves site utilization efficiency through intelligent parking and charging, effectively solving the problems of scarce urban land resources, difficulty in parking, and high parking costs, while providing customers with convenient and comfortable charging services.
[0072] This utility model saves land resources, improves charging efficiency, fully utilizes charging sites, and solves the problem of occupied charging spaces, significantly enhancing the utilization efficiency of charging piles. Site costs and occupied charging spaces have always been two major challenges in the charging market; this utility model fundamentally solves these two problems, providing a solution for bridging the "last mile" of charging. This utility model also addresses the difficulties car owners face in parking and charging. After making a reservation, car owners can park and charge at any time during the reserved time slot without queuing. Charging can also be scheduled during peak and off-peak electricity pricing periods, saving on vehicle usage, such as pre-setting charging at night. For example, when shopping in busy areas, parking is difficult. This utility model can help car owners park their cars in multi-level parking garages and retrieve them after finishing their business. When traveling for business, car owners can directly find the location of a multi-level parking garage on the app, park their cars for charging, and use this time to run errands. After finishing, they can simply drive away. This greatly facilitates car owners and saves them time. This utility model also features automatic recognition, automatic parking, and automatic charging, with fully intelligent operation throughout the process.
[0073] Example 2
[0074] The following is a second embodiment of the present invention for a charging multi-level parking garage. This embodiment is similar to embodiment 1, except that... (See details below) Figure 11The charging mechanism 6 includes a vehicle-mounted end 61 and a power supply end 62. The vehicle-mounted end 61 is slidably mounted on the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 and can be electrically connected to the charging port of the vehicle 93. The power supply end 62 is mounted on the parking unit 411 and can be electrically connected to the vehicle-mounted end 61. The vehicle-mounted end 61 includes, but is not limited to, a charging gun. One end of the charging gun is used to connect to the charging port of the vehicle 93, and the other end is connected to the electrical structure of the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1. The power supply end 62 is used to connect to the electrical structure of the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, ultimately realizing the connection between the charging port of the vehicle 93 and the power supply. In use, after the owner parks the vehicle 93 in the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, the vehicle-mounted end 61 should be connected to the charging port of the vehicle 93 before leaving. After the vehicle 93 is transferred to the parking unit 411, the power supply end 62 can automatically connect to the vehicle-mounted end 61. This can be achieved through a structure with a robotic arm with multiple degrees of freedom, or other methods.
[0075] In one embodiment of this utility model, the charging mechanism 6 further includes at least two sets of automatic plug-in robotic arms. One set of automatic plug-in robotic arms is installed in the parking unit 411 for connecting the power supply end 62 to the vehicle end 61, and the other set of automatic plug-in robotic arms is installed in the vehicle mechanism 1 for electrically connecting the vehicle end 61 to the vehicle 93 charging port. Furthermore, it also includes an automatic positioning and alignment element, which can be a vision element or an electromagnetic sensor, for positioning the automatic plug-in robotic arms when the vehicle end 61 connects to the vehicle 93 charging port and when the power supply end 62 connects to the vehicle end 61, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the plug-in connection.
[0076] In this embodiment, by setting up two sets of automatic plug-in robotic arms, the entire charging process of vehicle 93 can be automated. The car owner only needs to park the car in the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 of the vehicle 93 handover area 8 and then leave. The automatic plug-in robotic arm set in the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 can dock with the charging port of vehicle 93. After vehicle 93 is transferred to parking unit 411, the other set of robotic arms set in parking unit 411 can dock with vehicle-mounted end 61, so that the charging port of vehicle 93 can be connected to the power source to achieve the purpose of charging vehicle 93.
[0077] Example 3
[0078] The following is a third embodiment of the present invention for a charging multi-level parking garage. This embodiment is similar to embodiment 1, except that the transfer mechanism 2 is divided into at least two groups. One group of transfer mechanisms 2 is located in the vehicle 93 handover area 8 and is defined as the first group of transfer mechanisms 2, used to transfer the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 from the vehicle 93 handover area 8 to the lifting mechanism 3. The other group of transfer mechanisms 2 is located in the lateral movement mechanism 5 and is defined as the second group of transfer mechanisms 2, used to transfer the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 from the lifting mechanism 3 to the parking unit 411. In this embodiment, dividing the transfer mechanism 2 into multiple groups can improve the working efficiency of the entire charging multi-level parking garage. The first group of transfer mechanisms 2 is only responsible for transferring the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 from the vehicle 93 handover area 8 to the lifting mechanism 3 or from the lifting mechanism 3 to the vehicle 93 handover area 8; the second group of transfer mechanisms 2 is only responsible for transferring the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 from the lifting mechanism 3 to the parking unit 411 or from the parking unit 411 to the lifting mechanism 3. Each set of transfer mechanisms 2 travels a relatively short distance, and the coordinated action of the two sets of transfer mechanisms 2 can greatly improve work efficiency.
[0079] In one embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 has a first groove 11 at its bottom facing upwards, and the moving part 22 has a second groove 221 at its top. The top of the lifting part 21 is installed in the first groove 11, and the bottom of the lifting part 21 is installed in the second groove 221. The first groove 11 allows the top of the lifting bracket in the lifting part 21 to be inserted into and connected to the bottom of the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, while the second groove 221 allows the bottom of the lifting bracket to be inserted into the moving bracket in the moving part 22. In the extreme case, when the lifting part 21 is lowered to its lowest point, the entire lifting part 21 can be folded between the first groove 11 and the second groove 221. At this time, the bottom of the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 abuts against the top of the moving part 22.
[0080] In one embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 is provided with a first positioning part 71 at its bottom, and the transfer mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism 3, and the parking unit 411 are all provided with second positioning parts 72. The first positioning part 71 can be inserted and positioned with the second positioning part 72. Preferably, the first positioning part 71 can be a pin and the second positioning part 72 can be a slot; alternatively, the first positioning part 71 can be a slot and the second positioning part 72 can be a pin. The insertion of the pin and the slot is used to realize the connection between the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 and the transfer mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism 3, and the parking unit 411. In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 2 includes both a first group of transfer mechanisms 2 and a second group of transfer mechanisms 2, that is, the second positioning part 72 is provided in both the first group of transfer mechanisms 2 and the second group of transfer mechanisms 2.
[0081] As one embodiment of the present invention, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a support frame 31, a lifting platform 32, and a lifting drive unit 33. The lifting drive unit 33 is installed on the support frame 31, the lifting platform 32 is located inside the support frame 31 and connected to the lifting drive unit 33, and the lifting platform 32 is also movably connected to the support frame 31. The second positioning part 72 on the lifting mechanism 3 is provided on the lifting platform 32.
[0082] The support frame 31 serves as a support for the lifting platform 32 and the lifting drive unit 33, and provides them with installation space. The lifting drive unit 33 is used to drive the lifting platform 32 to rise or fall. After the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 is transferred to the lifting platform 32 by the first set of transfer mechanisms 2, the first set of transfer mechanisms 2 exits the lifting platform 32 and returns to the vehicle 93 handover area 8. The lifting drive unit 33 drives the lifting platform 32 to rise in tandem with the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 until the lifting platform 32 is level with the transverse mechanism 5. The second set of transfer mechanisms 2 enters the lifting platform 32 and transfers the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1 to the transverse mechanism 5.

[0084] The following is a fourth embodiment of the present invention for a charging multi-level parking garage. This embodiment is similar to embodiment 1, except that the control system includes a reservation unit for managing user reservation information and providing it to the identity verification unit and the control unit.
[0085] The identification unit, used to identify user information and corresponding reservation information, is installed in the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, the lifting mechanism 3, and the parking unit 411.
[0086] An identity verification unit, used to verify whether user information matches reservation information, is installed in lifting mechanism 3;
[0087] The control unit is used to control the actions of each mechanism based on information from each unit.
[0088] The reservation unit, identification unit, and identity verification unit are all connected to the control unit.
[0089] Car owners can pre-book services via a mobile app. The app is linked to the reservation unit of the control system, and reservations include charging time slots, parking, car washes, and other services. After parking their car on the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, car owners must lock the doors and confirm via the app before leaving. The automated charging garage automatically completes the process based on the customer's app selection. Alternatively, car owners can choose to charge based on peak / off-peak electricity pricing. They can pre-park their car on the vehicle-mounted mechanism 1, which then moves the car into the automated parking garage. The owner can pre-book a charging time slot via the app, and the charging mechanism 6 will begin charging vehicle 93 at the scheduled time. This saves customers money and solves parking problems. The identification and identity verification units serve the reservation unit, ensuring that vehicle 93 is pre-booked and that the functions performed by vehicle 93 match the owner's reservation.
[0090] Example 5
[0091] The following is the fifth embodiment of the present invention for a charging three-dimensional parking garage. This embodiment is similar to embodiment 1, except that it also includes a fire zone for fire isolation of the vehicle 93. The fire zone replaces at least one parking unit 411 and is equipped with fire-fighting tools. It also includes several temperature sensors, which are respectively located in the fire zone and the parking unit 411, for monitoring the temperature of the vehicle 93. All temperature sensors are communicatively connected to the control system.
[0092] Firefighting equipment includes, but is not limited to, fire pits for placing burning vehicles inside to extinguish fires, as well as fire extinguishers and other tools for cooling and extinguishing fires. Preferably, the fire zone is located at the end of the multi-level parking space 4 near the lifting mechanism 3, and most preferably at the bottom floor of the multi-level parking space 4. The fire zone occupies the position of one or more parking units 411, replacing the original parking units 411 in the area, and serves as a fire isolation area to facilitate cooling and fire extinguishing operations. Temperature sensors are installed in each parking unit 411 to monitor the temperature of the vehicles. Once the temperature exceeds a threshold, it is fed back to the control system. The control system sends a command to the traverse mechanism 5, which uses the transfer mechanism 2 to transfer the vehicle from the parking unit 411 to the traverse mechanism 5, and then transfers it to the fire zone via the lifting mechanism 3 to perform cooling and fire extinguishing operations, ensuring the safety of other vehicles and the entire charging multi-level parking garage.
