Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy vehicle charging parking technology, and more specifically, to an automatic transfer device applied to a charging multi-level parking garage. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of new energy vehicles, charging functionality is needed to meet charging demands while parking. Existing multi-level parking garages operate by having drivers park their cars in designated spaces at the bottom, insert a charging gun, and then leave. Drivers must then exit from the bottom of the garage. After leaving, the automatic control system rotates clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the parking space to a suitable location in the air. This design has two drawbacks. First, it requires drivers to walk a considerable distance from the entrance to the bottom of the garage. Second, to maximize the number of levels within a limited height, the distance between buildings is often small. When leaving from the bottom, drivers may feel a sense of confinement due to the height difference, especially with all the parking spaces above filled with cars, which also presents safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an automatic transfer device for a charging multi-level parking garage. The parking space can be set in an open space close to the entrance of the parking garage. After the car owner drives the car to the parking space and inserts the charging gun, he / she can leave. Then, the automatic transfer device will transfer the parking space to the multi-level parking garage.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7 The image shows a first embodiment of an automatic transfer device for a charging multi-level parking garage, comprising:

[0038] The vehicle platform 1 is used for parking vehicles. It is equipped with a charging gun 5 and a charging base 6. The charging gun 5 and the charging base 6 are electrically connected.

[0039] The lifting mechanism 2 is detachably installed at the bottom of the vehicle platform 1 and is used to push the vehicle platform 1 to lift.

[0040] The moving mechanism 3 is installed at the bottom of the lifting mechanism 2 and is used to move the lifting mechanism 2 and the vehicle platform 1.

[0041] The charging gun 5 is connected to the vehicle at one end and to the charging socket 6 at the other end. The charging socket 6 is connected to a power source at the other end to enable charging of the vehicle.

[0042] As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a position adjustment mechanism 4, through which the charging gun 5 is connected to the vehicle platform 1. The position adjustment mechanism 4 is used to adjust the position of the charging gun 5 to adapt to different vehicle models. Since different brands and models of vehicles have different charging port positions, after the vehicle is placed on the vehicle platform 1, the position adjustment mechanism 4 adjusts the relative position with the vehicle platform 1 to adjust the position of the charging gun 5, thereby facilitating the insertion of the charging gun 5 into the vehicle's charging port.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, the position adjustment mechanism 4 includes a docking mechanism 41 and a sliding mechanism 42. The sliding mechanism 42 is mounted on the vehicle platform 1, and the charging gun 5 is mounted on the docking mechanism 41. The docking mechanism 41 and the sliding mechanism 42 are connected. The sliding mechanism 42 is used to adjust the position of the charging gun 5 relative to the vehicle platform 1 so that the charging gun 5 is close to the charging port. The docking mechanism 41 is used to adjust the direction of the charging gun 5 and the distance between the charging gun 5 and the charging port, so as to achieve fine adjustment of the distance of the charging gun 5 and facilitate the precise insertion of the charging gun 5 into the charging port.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, the sliding mechanism 42 includes a slide rail 421 and a slider 422. The slide rail 421 is mounted on the side of the vehicle platform 1, and the docking mechanism 41 is mounted on the slider 422. The slider 422 is slidably connected to the slide rail 421. The slide rail 421 is arranged parallel to the length direction of the vehicle platform 1, so that when the slider 422 slides relative to the slide rail 421, it can move relative to the length direction of the vehicle, thereby adjusting the position of the charging gun 5 relative to the charging port. The docking mechanism 41 can be finely adjusted relative to the sliding mechanism 42 to adjust the direction and position of the charging gun 5, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the connection with the charging port.

[0045] As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the docking mechanism 41 is a six-axis robotic arm. The six-axis robotic arm has six degrees of freedom for adjustment, specifically movement and rotation in the X / Y / Z directions. Movement in the X / Y / Z directions allows for fine-tuning of the position of the charging gun 5, and rotation in the X / Y / Z directions allows for adjustment of the angle of the charging gun 5. The six-axis robotic arm enables automatic insertion and removal of the charging gun 5. Compared with existing technologies, this automatic transfer device eliminates the need for the owner to insert the charging gun 5 into the charging port after parking the vehicle. The automatic transfer device automatically inserts and removes the charging gun 5, saving the owner a step and making it more convenient.

[0046] In one embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle platform 1 is provided with a limiting member 11 for limiting the parking position of the vehicle. The limiting member 11 may be a baffle located at the front end of the vehicle platform 1 and / or the side where the vehicle is placed, for physical obstruction, or it may be other structures, to serve as a limiting reminder that the vehicle is parked in place and to prevent the vehicle from moving.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle platform 1 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip units 12. The anti-slip units 12 serve to prevent the vehicle from moving relative to the vehicle platform 1 after it is parked in place, thereby ensuring safety.

[0048] In one embodiment of this utility model, the vehicle platform 1 is provided with a first docking part 14, and the top of the lifting mechanism 2 is provided with a second docking part 211. The first docking part 14 and the second docking part 211 are inserted into each other. Preferably, the first docking part 14 can be a socket, and the second docking part 211 can be a corresponding pin. The connection between the lifting mechanism 2 and the vehicle platform 1 is achieved by inserting the pin into the socket. Of course, the first docking part 14 and the second docking part 211 can also be interchanged. Within the scope of knowledge of those skilled in the art, the first docking part 14 and the second docking part 211 can also be other structures.

[0049] As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the lifting mechanism 2 includes a support platform 21, an expandable and foldable support frame 22, a drive mechanism 23, and a base frame 24. The top of the support frame 22 is rotatably connected to the support platform 21, one end of its bottom is rotatably connected to the base frame 24, and the other end is slidably connected to the base frame 24. Both ends of the drive mechanism 23 are rotatably connected to the base frame 24 and the support frame 22, respectively. The base frame 24 is fixedly mounted on the moving mechanism 3, and the second docking part 211 is located on top of the support platform 21. The support platform 21 is used to support and connect to the vehicle platform 1. The support frame 22 expands or folds under the drive of the drive mechanism 23. When the support frame 22 expands, it can push the support platform 21 to rise; when the support frame 22 folds, it can drive the support platform 21 to fall. Preferably, the drive mechanism 23 is a cylinder. The base frame 24 is used to connect to the moving mechanism 3. The support frames 22 can be arranged in a cross configuration to achieve the functions of lifting when expanded and lowering when folded.

[0050] As one embodiment of this utility model, the moving mechanism 3 includes a base 31 and a plurality of wheels 32, preferably four wheels 32, which are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the base 31. The base 31 is provided with a groove for installing the lifting mechanism 2, and the base frame 24 is installed in the groove for limiting its position.

[0051] As one embodiment of this utility model, it also includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to the lifting mechanism 2 and the moving mechanism 3, and is used to control the movement of the moving mechanism 3 and to control the lifting of the lifting mechanism 2.

[0052] principle:

[0053] This utility model requires the use of a recessed parking space. The vehicle platform 1 is placed in the parking space, with its top flush with the ground. The lifting mechanism 2 and the moving mechanism 3 are both located underground. The lifting mechanism 2 and the moving mechanism 3 can be integrated. Before the vehicle is driven to the vehicle platform 1, the moving mechanism 3 and the lifting mechanism 2 can be located under the vehicle platform 1 and connected to it, or they can be located in other positions. When the vehicle platform 1 needs to be moved, the moving mechanism 3 and the lifting mechanism 2 are moved to the bottom of the vehicle platform 1 and connected to it. After the owner parks the vehicle on the vehicle platform 1 and leaves, the charging gun 5 automatically inserts into the vehicle's charging port. The lifting mechanism 2 lifts and supports the vehicle platform 1, and the moving mechanism 3 moves the vehicle platform 1 to a suitable position in the multi-level parking garage. The charging base 6 of the vehicle platform 1 connects to the power supply of the multi-level parking garage to achieve vehicle charging and temporary storage.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] The following is a second embodiment of the automatic transfer device of this utility model applied to a charging multi-level parking garage. This embodiment is similar to embodiment 1, except that the anti-slip unit 12 consists of multiple parallel rollers sequentially embedded in the vehicle platform 1, with gaps between adjacent rollers. The rollers can both support the vehicle and limit movement through the gaps between the rollers to increase friction, thus achieving both anti-slip and limiting functions.

[0056] Example 3

[0057] The following is a third embodiment of the automatic transfer device of this utility model applied to a charging multi-level parking garage. This embodiment is similar to embodiment 1, except that the vehicle platform 1 is further provided with multiple mounting positions 13 for installing sensors. The sensors include, but are not limited to, vehicle sensors for detecting whether a vehicle is parked on the vehicle platform 1; they can also be temperature sensors for monitoring the vehicle temperature as a fire prevention warning. Other sensors may also be used. These sensors are installed in the mounting positions 13 and communicate with the controller to achieve their respective functions.

[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
