Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical parking equipment technology, and in particular to a vehicle carrier plate with a drag chain structure. Background Technology
[0002] Mechanical parking equipment is a general term for the equipment used to transport and park cars in mechanical parking garages. It can be divided into various types, such as lift-and-slide parking equipment (PSH), vertical circulation parking equipment (PCX), aisle stacking parking equipment (PXD), horizontal circulation parking equipment (PSX), multi-level circulation parking equipment (PDX), planar moving parking equipment (PPY), car lifts, vertical lift parking equipment (PCS), and simple lift parking equipment (PJS). Mechanical parking equipment has been around for a long time, and many residential communities and shopping malls have installed mechanical parking equipment in their underground parking lots.
[0003] In existing lift-and-slide parking systems, the power supply to the vehicle platform is mostly connected using either conduit fixing or mechanical cranks. Both methods have problems. With the former, the cable swings with the vehicle platform during movement, requiring a certain length of cable to be reserved. During the swing, the position of the cable drooping changes, which may block the photoelectric detection equipment and affect the operation of the equipment. The latter is greatly affected by the flatness of the ground, and in actual use, people often step on the mechanical crank or trip over it, posing certain safety hazards. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a vehicle platform with a drag chain structure, which can effectively solve the above problems.
[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] This utility model provides a vehicle platform with a cable chain structure, comprising: a steel frame, a vehicle platform disposed within the steel frame, a cable chain bracket fixedly disposed at the rear end of the vehicle platform, the cable chain bracket being used to embed cables, a first end of the cable chain bracket being connected to the vehicle platform, and a cable chain being connected to the second end of the cable chain bracket, the cable chain being used to embed cables and moving laterally with the vehicle platform, a bracket being disposed on the side of the cable chain away from the cable chain bracket, the bracket being fixedly disposed on the steel frame, and a cable chain groove being disposed on the bracket for connecting the cable chain.
[0007] As a further improvement, the cable chain bracket is provided with multiple connecting brackets, and a limit switch is provided on the connecting bracket near the vehicle platform.
[0008] As a further improvement, a reinforcing strip is provided at the connection point of two adjacent connecting brackets.
[0009] As a further improvement, the steel frame is equipped with a photoelectric detection device above the corresponding cable chain.
[0010] As a further improvement, the vehicle carrier plate is provided with a vehicle stopper near the cable chain bracket.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This utility model, through the design of a cable chain structure, embeds the cable within the cable chain and moves laterally with the vehicle platform. This effectively avoids the problem of the cable obstructing the photoelectric detection equipment due to swaying during the movement of the vehicle platform, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the equipment operation. Limit switches ensure that the vehicle platform does not exceed the set range during movement and ensures that the vehicle platform stops in the correct position each time, avoiding equipment failure or safety hazards caused by positional deviations. Reinforcing strips are set between adjacent connecting brackets to enhance the overall strength and stability of the cable chain brackets and extend the service life of the brackets. The modular design of the cable chain structure facilitates the installation, maintenance, and replacement of cables, reducing equipment maintenance costs and complexity, and preventing cables from being soaked in rainwater or being stepped on or tripped over, greatly improving the safety of drivers and passengers during use.

[0020] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, a vehicle platform using a cable chain structure includes: a steel frame 1, and a vehicle platform 2 disposed within the steel frame 1.
[0021] A cable carrier bracket 3 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the vehicle platform 2. The cable carrier bracket 3 is used to embed the cable. The first end of the cable carrier bracket 3 is connected to the vehicle platform 2, and the second end of the cable carrier bracket 3 is connected to the cable carrier 4. The cable carrier 4 is used to embed the cable and moves laterally with the vehicle platform 2. A bracket 6 is provided on the side of the cable carrier 4 away from the cable carrier bracket 3. The bracket 6 is fixedly installed on the steel frame 1. The bracket 6 is provided with a cable carrier groove 5 for connecting the cable carrier 4. Through the design of the cable carrier structure, the cable is embedded in the cable carrier 4 and moves laterally with the vehicle platform 2, which effectively avoids the problem of the cable blocking the photoelectric detection equipment 8 due to swinging during the movement of the vehicle platform 2, and ensures the stability of the equipment operation and the detection accuracy.
[0022] Furthermore, the steel frame 1 is fixed to the ground, and a vehicle carrier plate 2 is installed inside the steel frame 1. The vehicle carrier plate 2 is connected to the steel frame 1 through a transmission component. The vehicle carrier plate 2 is installed in the steel frame 1 to support the car to be parked. In this embodiment, the vehicle carrier plate 2 is a plate-shaped steel structure. The front end of the vehicle carrier plate 2, i.e. the end where the vehicle enters, is provided with a slope to facilitate the vehicle's entry. The other end of the vehicle carrier plate 2 is provided with a vehicle stopper 21 near the drag chain bracket 3. The vehicle stopper 21 is used to stop the vehicle tires to ensure that the vehicle is parked in the correct position and to avoid the vehicle colliding with the steel frame 1 when the vehicle carrier plate 2 moves due to inaccurate parking position. A controller is also provided on the steel frame 1. The controller is electrically connected to the limit switch 7 and the photoelectric detection device 8.
[0023] Furthermore, a cable chain bracket 3 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the vehicle platform 2. The cable chain bracket 3 is provided with multiple connecting brackets 31. The multiple connecting brackets 31 are fixedly connected by welding or bolting to form the cable chain bracket 3. The cable chain bracket 3 is used to embed cables and moves with the vehicle platform 2 when it moves. Since the cable chain bracket 3 needs to move with the vehicle platform 2, in order to prevent structural strength problems from occurring during repeated movement, a reinforcing strip 32 is provided at the connection point of two adjacent connecting brackets 31 to improve the overall strength and stability of the cable chain bracket 3 and extend the service life of the bracket.
[0024] The first end of the cable chain bracket 3 is connected to the vehicle platform 2, and the second end of the cable chain bracket 3 is connected to the cable chain 4. The cable chain 4 is used to embed the cable and moves laterally left and right with the vehicle platform 2. The cable chain 4 has a bracket 6 on the side away from the cable chain bracket 3. The bracket 6 is fixedly mounted on the steel frame 1. The bracket 6 is provided with a cable chain groove 5 for connecting the cable chain 4. The cable chain 4 moves together with the vehicle platform 2 in the cable chain groove 5. The cable chain groove 5 is used to support the cable chain 4 and the cable. The cable is laid along the steel frame 1 and enters the cable chain 4 from the entry end of the cable chain 4. It exits from the exit end of the cable chain 4 and enters the cable chain bracket 3. It connects to the vehicle platform 2 along the cable chain bracket 3 and provides power to the motor and limit switch 7 in the vehicle platform 2.
[0025] Furthermore, to ensure the accuracy of the movement of the vehicle carrier 2, a limit switch 7 is installed on the connecting bracket 31 of the cable chain bracket 3 near the vehicle carrier 2. The limit switch 7 moves with the cable chain bracket 3 during use to detect whether the vehicle carrier 2 has reached the set position. When the vehicle carrier 2 reaches the set position, the limit switch 7 is triggered and sends a signal to the controller. The controller then controls other equipment to stop the vehicle carrier 2 or execute other commands. A photoelectric detection device 8 is installed above the corresponding cable chain 4 position on the steel frame 1. The photoelectric detection device 8 can ensure that the equipment will not start when the vehicle is not parked correctly, thereby avoiding safety accidents caused by improper vehicle position. It can also effectively prevent the equipment from malfunctioning due to position deviation or abnormal movement, thereby improving the reliability and safety of the equipment.
[0026] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
