Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of three-dimensional parking garage technology, and in particular relates to a three-dimensional parking garage with dual vehicle-carrying platforms for exchange. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in multi-level parking garages with vehicle platforms, each parking space is equipped with a corresponding vehicle platform, and there is always one vehicle platform on the ground level. In this way, when parking, the vehicle can be driven directly onto the vehicle platform, and after parking, an empty vehicle platform is towed to the ground level. When retrieving the vehicle, the empty vehicle platform on the ground level must be returned to its original position before retrieving the vehicle. This back-and-forth vehicle platform retrieval structure results in low vehicle storage and retrieval efficiency and makes it difficult to meet the current fast-paced needs.

[0003] The applicant previously applied for a three-dimensional parking garage with a micro-lifting vehicle platform, comprising a steel frame, a transport channel within the steel frame, a vertically movable transport trolley within the transport channel, parking spaces on the side of the transport channel, each parking space corresponding to a parking platform, a spare vehicle platform within the steel frame, the transport trolley comprising a transport frame, and a lifting frame driven by a power unit on the transport frame, the lifting frame having a transport space for transporting vehicles and a storage space for storing vehicle platforms, the transport space being located above the storage space. In this design, both the transport space and the storage space are adapted to the parking space's vehicle-carrying platform and the spare vehicle-carrying platform. While retrieving and storing vehicles, the transport trolley can carry the spare vehicle-carrying platform to facilitate the exchange of these platforms. Therefore, the transport trolley only needs to make one round trip to complete vehicle retrieval and platform storage. Furthermore, during platform exchange, only the power unit drives the lifting frame, eliminating the need for the transport trolley's main power unit to lift and lower it. This also reduces the need for a leveling and positioning mechanism on the transport trolley, lowering production costs, reducing spare parts, and significantly shortening vehicle retrieval time, thus improving efficiency. However, this structure cannot exchange vehicle-carrying platforms between the transport space and the storage space after retrieval. It requires another storage space for the vehicle-carrying platform, and then the transport trolley must move up and down to exchange the platform between these spaces. This not only occupies additional space but also reduces vehicle retrieval efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, in the field of automated parking system technology, there is still a need for research and improvement of dual-car platform exchange automated parking systems and automated parking systems. This is also a research hotspot and focus in the current field of automated parking system technology, and it is the starting point for the completion of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a dual-car platform exchange three-dimensional parking garage to solve the technical problem of cumbersome exchange process of car platforms on the transport trolley and low vehicle storage and retrieval efficiency.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a dual-car platform exchange three-dimensional parking garage, including a steel structure frame, a transport channel provided within the steel structure frame, a vertically movable transport trolley provided within the transport channel, parking spaces provided on the sides of the transport channel, and, except for the ground-level parking spaces, a storage space for storing car platforms provided below each parking space. Only one car platform is provided in each parking space and its corresponding storage space. The transport trolley includes a transport frame, on which a lower support rail for supporting the car platforms is fixedly installed. Two support frames are hinged to each side of the transport frame. Each support frame has an upper support rail fixedly installed at its upper end for supporting the vehicle platform. The lower end of the support frame is connected to a tilting power device. A lifting plate driven by a lifting power device is installed on the transport frame. A rotary table driven by a rotary power device is rotatably installed on the lifting plate. The rotary table is located below the lower support rail. Only one of the upper and lower support rails has a vehicle platform. The distance between the parking space and the storage space is equal to the distance between the upper and lower support rails.

[0007] As an improvement, the flipping power device includes a swing disk driven by a flipping motor, the swing disk having two symmetrical connection points, one connection point connecting to the lower end of one of the support frames and the other connection point connecting to the lower end of the other support frame.

[0008] As a further improvement, the connection point is hinged to the lower end of the corresponding support frame via a connecting rod.

[0009] As a further improvement, the transport trolley is equipped with a leveling and positioning device.

[0010] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] The dual-car platform exchange parking garage provided by this utility model features a tilting power device that drives the support frame to tilt, creating space for the lifting of the car platforms. This allows the car platforms on the lower support rail to rise smoothly under the action of the lifting plate. Then, the support frame resets, the lifting plate descends, and the car platform is placed on the upper support rail. The placement of the car platform on the upper support rail can be completed in just a few simple actions, making the operation convenient and improving vehicle storage and retrieval efficiency. Furthermore, since each parking space has a storage space for car platforms, and the transport trolley also has two storage positions (upper and lower), and the distance between the parking space and the storage space is equal to the distance between the upper and lower support rails, the transport trolley can simultaneously perform vehicle storage and retrieval and car platform exchange after reaching the designated position. This reduces the need for repeated positioning of the transport trolley, simplifies the vehicle storage and retrieval process, and further improves vehicle storage and retrieval efficiency.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, a dual-car platform exchange parking garage includes a steel frame 1, a transport channel 2 within the steel frame 1, a vertically movable transport trolley 7 within the transport channel 2, and parking spaces 3 on the sides of the transport channel 2. The parking spaces 3 can be located on either side of the transport channel 2 or around it. Therefore, this invention is suitable for both rectangular and cylindrical parking garages. In addition to the ground-level parking spaces 3, each parking space 3 has a storage space 4 below it for storing car platforms 6. Typically, a pallet rack 5 is installed below the parking space 3 on the steel structure frame 1. The gap between the pallet rack 5 and the parking space 3 forms a pallet storage space 4. The side of the pallet storage space 4 facing the transport channel 2 is open to facilitate the storage and retrieval of the pallet 6. Only one pallet 6 is provided in each parking space 3 and its corresponding pallet storage space 4. When there is a pallet 6 for a parked vehicle in the parking space 3, no pallet 6 is provided in the pallet storage space 4. When there is no pallet 6 in the parking space 3, one pallet 6 is provided in the pallet storage space 4. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transport trolley 7 includes a transport frame 701, on which a lower support rail 702 for supporting a vehicle platform 6 is fixedly mounted. Two support frames 703 are hinged to each side of the transport frame 701 via hinge shafts. An upper support rail 704 for supporting the vehicle platform 6 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of each support frame 703. A tilting power device is connected to the lower end of the support frame 703. A lifting plate 706 driven by a lifting power device 705 is mounted on the transport frame 701. The lifting power device 705 can be a scissor lift assembly driven by a hydraulic cylinder, a gear and rack assembly driven by a lifting motor, or a hydraulic cylinder and guide rod assembly, etc., which can be selected by those skilled in the art as needed. A rotary table 707 driven by a rotary power device is rotatably mounted on the lifting plate 706. The rotary power device includes a fixed... A rotary motor is mounted on the lifting plate 706, and a drive gear is fixedly installed on the power output shaft of the rotary motor. A driven gear that meshes with the drive gear is fixedly installed on the turntable 707. Vehicles on the turntable 707 can turn around under the drive of the rotary motor, facilitating vehicle entry and exit from the vehicle carrier plate 6. After the lifting plate 706 falls back under the drive of the lifting power device 705, the turntable 707 is located below the lower support rail 702. Only one of the upper support rail 704 and the lower support rail 702 has a vehicle carrier plate 6. The distance between the parking space 3 and the storage space 4 is equal to the distance between the upper support rail 704 and the lower support rail 702. This allows the transport trolley 7 to simultaneously perform vehicle storage and retrieval and exchange of vehicle carrier plates 6 after reaching the designated position, reducing the repeated up-and-down positioning of the transport trolley 7 and simplifying the vehicle storage and retrieval steps. Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the flipping power device can drive the support frame 703 to flip, making way for the lifting space of the vehicle platform 6, so that the vehicle platform 6 located on the lower support rail 702 can be smoothly raised under the action of the lifting plate 706. Then the support frame 703 is reset, the lifting plate 706 is lowered, and the vehicle platform 6 is placed on the upper support rail 704. Only a few simple actions are needed to complete the placement of the vehicle on the upper support rail 704. The operation is simple and improves the efficiency of vehicle storage and retrieval.

[0026] Specifically, the tilting power unit includes a tilting motor-driven swing disk 708. The swing disk 708 has two symmetrical connection points. One connection point is connected to the lower end of one of the support frames 703, and the other connection point is connected to the lower end of the other support frame 703. Given this structure, the swing disk 708 can be a disc-shaped structure or a symmetrical arm structure. Of course, it can also be controlled by a separate control unit, such as two air cylinders or hydraulic cylinders. These will not be listed one by one here.

[0027] To enable the reciprocating rotation of the support frame 703, the connection point is hinged to the lower end of the corresponding support frame 703 via a connecting rod 709. The connecting rod 709 is a rigid connector that can push or pull the lower end of the support frame 703, causing the support frame 703 to reciprocate around the hinge axis, thus achieving clearance for the placement of the vehicle platform 6 or the lifting space of the vehicle platform 6. Alternatively, the connection point and the lower end of the corresponding support frame 703 can be connected by a flexible cable, which can pull the lower end of the support frame 703. In this case, an elastic reset element, such as a tension spring, is required to assist in the reset of the support frame 703. Those skilled in the art can choose to use such an element as needed, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0028] The lifting frame is equipped with a leveling positioning device. Regarding the leveling positioning device, the applicant has submitted several applications, such as ZL2017211466663, ZL2022235693458, ZL2024209971698, etc. The structure and usage of the device are well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can refer to it for implementation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the horizontal movement and exchange of the vehicle platform 6 is usually achieved by rotation or hooking, which are common techniques used by those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Before parking, such as Figure 1 As shown, the transport trolley 7 is located on the ground floor of the steel structure frame 1, and the vehicle platform 6 is located on the upper support rail 704 of the transport trolley 7. When parking is required, the vehicle drives into the vehicle platform 6, and the lower support rail 702 is left empty. Figure 6 As shown, the transport trolley 7 is raised to the designated parking space 3, and the vacant parking space 3 is aligned with the upper support rail 704. At the same time, the lower support rail 702 is aligned with the storage tray 5. Figure 7 As shown, the vehicle carrier 6 on the transport trolley 7, carrying the vehicles to be stored, is moved horizontally to the parking space 3. Furthermore, the vehicle carrier 6 in the storage space 4 is moved horizontally onto the lower support rail 702. Then, the transport trolley 7 is lowered to the ground floor, as shown. Figure 3 As shown, the tilting power device can drive the support frame 703 to tilt, clearing the lifting space for the vehicle platform 6, so that the vehicle platform 6 located on the lower support rail 702 can rise smoothly under the action of the lifting plate 706. Then the support frame 703 returns to its original position. Figure 8 As shown, the lifting plate 706 descends, placing the vehicle carrier plate 6 on the upper support rail 704, thus completing the vehicle storage process.

[0031] The process of retrieving the vehicle is the reverse of the process of storing the vehicle. The difference is that before retrieving the vehicle, the vehicle-carrying plate 6 is located on the lower support rail 702, which will not be described in detail here.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
