Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle storage technology, and more specifically to a three-dimensional parking garage for inline electric bicycles. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology, people are paying more and more attention to low-carbon living. Bicycles, as a mode of transportation, are convenient, flexible, adaptable, and environmentally friendly and energy-saving. The shared bicycle industry has thus developed. However, when storing existing bicycles, especially in large cities where land is scarce, storage space is extremely limited, making it difficult to meet the need for efficient land use, resulting in a chaotic situation when shared bicycles are stored on flat surfaces.

[0003] To address the above issues, a search revealed a Chinese patent publication (CN 110778173 A, publication date February 11, 2020) that discloses a bicycle carrier plate for hanging on a multi-level parking garage and a similar bicycle parking garage. The carrier plate includes a base plate for supporting bicycles and a side plate connected to the front end of the base plate and extending upwards. The top of the side plate has a downwardly inclined locking plate, forming a hook between the locking plate and the side plate for hanging the carrier plate on the multi-level parking garage. The multi-level parking garage includes multiple spaced-apart hanging blocks and the aforementioned bicycle carrier plate. The hook of the carrier plate aligns and engages with the hanging blocks to hang the carrier plate on the multi-level parking garage. This bicycle carrier plate allows for bicycle storage by hanging the carrier plate on the multi-level parking garage via the hook. However, storing bicycles in the multi-level parking garage requires movement in the X, Y, and Z directions using a robotic arm, making the storage and retrieval operation relatively complex. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. The technical problem to be solved by the utility model:

[0005] To address the problems of chaotic flat-level bicycle storage and complex retrieval operations in existing multi-level bicycle garages, this utility model provides a linear electric bicycle multi-level parking garage. Through the coordinated operation of lifting and lateral movement mechanisms, it achieves double-layer parking, significantly reducing the floor space required and improving user convenience, thereby simplifying bicycle storage and retrieval operations.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution:

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A vertical electric bicycle parking system includes a first-level parking rack, a second-level parking rack, and uprights. The first-level parking rack consists of multiple racks arranged longitudinally side-by-side, moving left and right along transverse guide rails laid on a base via a lateral movement mechanism. The second-level parking rack consists of multiple racks arranged longitudinally side-by-side above the first-level racks, moving up and down along their respective uprights via a lifting mechanism. The uprights are arranged vertically side-by-side, serving as support for the second-level parking racks. The first-level parking racks can move left and right, while the second-level parking racks can move up and down. When no bicycles are available on the first-level racks, taking the outermost rack on the second level as an example, all racks on the first level move to the right into position, and the outermost rack on the second level descends to the ground level and is removed. The empty racks can then be used to load bicycles.

[0009] A further technical solution includes a lateral movement mechanism comprising a lateral movement motor, and a lateral movement frame and support wheels respectively fixed to the near and far bottom ends of the first-level parking rack; the bottom of the lateral movement frame is connected to a drive wheel and a driven wheel, and the output shaft of the lateral movement motor is drivenly connected to the drive wheel; the drive wheel, driven wheel, support wheel, and lateral movement frame form a stable three-wheeled frame structure; the drive wheel and driven wheel are arranged on both sides of the first-level parking rack and are tactilely connected to the same lateral movement guide rail; the support wheel is tactilely connected to another parallel lateral movement guide rail, and lateral movement is oriented through the lateral movement guide rail to avoid deviation.

[0010] A further technical solution includes lateral movement limit blocks and lateral movement limit switches arranged on both sides of the parking rack and connected to the lateral movement rack, so as to achieve the purpose of stopping the vehicle during lateral movement.

[0011] A further technical solution includes a lifting mechanism comprising a lifting motor, a wire rope drum, a movable pulley, and a slider. The lifting motor is mounted above the column, and its output shaft is connected to the wire rope drum via a transmission connection. The sliding side of the slider is slidably connected to the column, and the near end of the second-level parking rack is fixedly connected to the fixed side of the slider. The movable pulley is rotatably connected to the upper part of the slider. The wire rope led from the wire rope drum passes around the movable pulley and is fixedly connected to the upper part of the column. The movable pulley and the wire rope drum form a labor-saving pulley lifting assembly, which then achieves directional lifting via the column, making operation labor-saving and simple.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the upper and lower parts of the column are respectively connected to an upper limit stop block and a lower limit stop block, and the sliding side of the slider is also connected to an upper limit switch and a lower limit switch that are respectively adapted to the upper limit stop block and the lower limit stop block, so as to achieve the purpose of stopping the limit when lifting or lowering.

[0013] A further technical solution involves fixing an electromagnetic hook to the upper part of the column, and connecting a U-bolt compatible with the electromagnetic hook to the upper end of the slider. When idle, the electromagnetic hook can hook onto the second-level parking frame to prevent the wire rope drum from working continuously.

[0014] A further technical solution involves fixing the parallel columns together with a crossbar, on which a charging socket is connected for convenient charging of the electric bicycle at any time.

[0015] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] This utility model of a vertical electric bicycle parking garage, through its double-layer design, increases space utilization by more than 50%, can be automatically controlled to reduce manual intervention, has a compact structure, and is suitable for scenarios such as communities, commercial areas, and shared bicycle storage areas.

[0026] To further understand the contents of this utility model, a detailed description of the utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] The vertical parking garage for electric bicycles in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the system includes a single-level parking rack 1, a double-level parking rack 2, and columns 21. The single-level parking rack 1 consists of multiple racks arranged longitudinally side by side, with eight racks shown in the figure. These racks move left and right along the transverse guide rails 10 laid on the base surface via a transverse movement mechanism. The double-level parking rack 2 consists of multiple racks arranged longitudinally side by side above the single-level parking rack 1, with nine racks shown in the figure. These racks move up and down along their respective columns 21 via a lifting mechanism 3. The columns 21 consist of multiple racks arranged vertically side by side, with nine racks shown in the figure. These columns serve as the support device for the double-level parking rack 2.

[0029] In this embodiment of the vertical electric bicycle parking garage, the first-floor parking rack 1 can be moved left and right, and the second-floor parking rack 2 can be raised and lowered. When there are no bicycles available on the first-floor parking rack 1, taking the outermost parking rack on the second floor as an example, all the racks on the first floor move one position to the right, and the outermost parking rack on the second floor is lowered to the ground level and removed. The empty rack can then be used to load bicycles.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] The linear electric bicycle parking garage in this embodiment has the same basic structure as Embodiment 1, with the following differences or improvements: Figure 5 As shown, the lateral movement mechanism includes a lateral movement motor 11, and a lateral movement frame 17 and a support wheel 14, which are respectively fixed to the near bottom and far bottom of the first-level parking rack 1. The bottom of the lateral movement frame 17 is connected to a drive wheel 12 and a driven wheel 13. The output shaft of the lateral movement motor 11 is connected to the drive wheel 12. The drive wheel 12, the driven wheel 13, the support wheel 14 and the lateral movement frame 17 form a stable three-wheeled frame structure. The drive wheel 12 and the driven wheel 13 are arranged on both sides of the first-level parking rack 1 and are rolled on the same lateral movement guide rail 10. The support wheel 14 is rolled on another parallel lateral movement guide rail 10 and moves laterally in a directional manner through the lateral movement guide rail 10 to avoid deviation.

[0032] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting motor 30, a wire rope drum 31, a movable pulley 32, and a slider 33. The lifting motor 30 is installed above the column 21, and the output shaft of the lifting motor 30 is connected to the wire rope drum 31 for transmission. The sliding side of the slider 33 is slidably connected to the column 21, and the near end of the second-level parking rack 2 is fixedly connected to the fixed side of the slider 33. The movable pulley 32 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the slider 33. The wire rope 311 led out from the wire rope drum 31 passes around the movable pulley 32 and is hooked by the fixed hook 312 fixedly connected to the upper part of the column 21. The movable pulley 32 and the wire rope drum 31 form a labor-saving pulley lifting assembly, which then achieves directional lifting through the column 21. The operation is labor-saving and simple.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] The linear electric bicycle parking garage in this embodiment has the same basic structure as embodiment 2, with the following differences or improvements: Figure 5 As shown, the lateral movement mechanism also includes lateral movement limit blocks 15 and lateral movement limit switches 16 arranged on both sides of the parking rack 1 and connected to the lateral movement rack 17, so as to achieve the purpose of stopping the vehicle during lateral movement. Figure 6 , 7 As shown, the upper and lower parts of the column 21 are respectively connected to an upper limit stop block 23 and a lower limit stop block 22. The sliding side of the slider 33 is also connected to an upper limit switch 332 and a lower limit switch 331, which are adapted to the upper limit stop block 23 and the lower limit stop block 22, respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of stopping the limit during lifting. An electromagnetic hook 35 is also fixedly connected to the upper part of the column 21. A U-bolt 34 adapted to the electromagnetic hook 35 is connected to the upper end face of the slider 33. When not in use, the electromagnetic hook 35 hooks onto the second-level parking frame 2 to prevent the wire rope drum 31 from working continuously. The parallel columns 21 are fixedly connected by a crossbar, and a charging socket power supply 9 is connected to the crossbar for convenient charging of electric bicycles at any time.

[0035] The vertical electric bicycle parking system in this embodiment can be connected to an external control system.

[0036] During lifting, after receiving the control system command, the electromagnetic hook 35 is energized and engaged. After the U-bolt 34 and the electromagnetic hook 35 are disengaged, the lifting motor 30 is energized, and the wire rope drum 31 connected to it rotates. The wire rope 311 is unwound, and the vehicle frame descends accordingly. After descending to the target position, the lower limit switch 331 and its lower limit stop block 22 are activated, and the signal is uploaded to the control system, and the equipment stops.

[0037] During lateral movement, according to the instructions of the control system, after the lateral movement motor 11 starts, the first-level parking rack 1 moves to the left or right. When it reaches the target position, the lateral movement limit switch 16 collides with the lateral movement limit block 15 of the adjacent rack, the signal is transmitted back to the control system, and the motor stops running.

[0038] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above illustratively. This description is not restrictive, and the figures shown are only one embodiment of the present invention. The actual structure and manufacturing steps are not limited to these. Therefore, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
