Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of multi-level parking garage technology, specifically a multi-level parking garage that can indicate the parking location. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the continuous growth of motor vehicle ownership, traditional surface parking lots, due to their large footprint and low space utilization, are struggling to meet the increasingly strained urban parking demands. This is especially true in core urban areas where land resources are scarce, where parking space shortages have become a key bottleneck restricting urban traffic development. To address this issue, multi-level parking garages have emerged. These garages utilize mechanical automation technology to achieve vertical or horizontal multi-level vehicle storage, increasing parking capacity per unit area and becoming an important development direction for urban parking facilities.

[0003] However, in practical applications, it has been found that current automated parking systems lack effective guidance and monitoring mechanisms during vehicle parking. When drivers with poor spatial awareness drive their vehicles into designated parking positions, they may park them too far forward or too far back. This not only inconveniences subsequent vehicle retrieval but also causes the lifting and traversing mechanisms of the automated parking system to bear uneven weight during use. If the lifting and traversing mechanisms bear this uneven weight for a long time, it will accelerate the wear and tear of the mechanical components of the automated parking system and affect its service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-level parking garage that can indicate the parking location, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A multi-level parking garage capable of indicating parking location includes a support frame, a lift cabin in the middle of the support frame, a lifting device at the bottom of the lift cabin, a lifting device connected to the lifting device at the top of the lift cabin, an entrance and an exit at the bottom of the lift cabin, distance sensors on the support frames on both sides of the entrance, and displays electrically connected to the two distance sensors installed on the support frames on both sides of the exit. Several parking areas are provided on both sides of the lift cabin, and each parking area is equipped with a lateral movement device.

[0007] The lifting device includes two symmetrical lifting frames. The inner sides of the two lifting frames are provided with a front wheel support comb tooth group and a rear wheel support comb tooth group. Each of the two front wheel support comb tooth groups has a comb tooth that is lower than the other comb teeth, and the two lower comb teeth are aligned.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned parking areas includes a first crossbeam arranged in the width direction, a second crossbeam arranged in the length direction, and a third crossbeam. The first, second, and third crossbeams are all fixedly connected to two adjacent support frames by screws. The second crossbeam is located on the outside and is higher than the first crossbeam. The first crossbeam is provided with a slide bar and an electrical component that supplies power to the lateral movement device.

[0009] Furthermore, the lateral movement device includes a lateral movement comb frame, with several rollers cooperating with slide bars on the outer sides of both ends of the lateral movement comb frame, and sprocket sets installed on the inner sides of both ends of the lateral movement comb frame. The two sprocket sets are respectively connected to several rollers at their corresponding ends. The two sprocket sets are connected by a drive shaft. A drive motor is provided on the lateral movement comb frame to drive the drive shaft to rotate. A slide head assembly is installed on the lateral movement comb frame, and the slide head assembly is slidably connected to the electrical components.

[0010] Furthermore, the electrical component includes several support frames connected to a "C"-shaped fixed beam. The fixed beam has an opening facing downwards and a conductive slide rail is installed inside it. The conductive slide rail is slidably connected to the slide head assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting device includes gear assembly one, gear assembly two, gear assembly three, and gear assembly four symmetrically installed on the top of the lifting chamber. Gear assembly one and gear assembly three are wound with chains and extend downward to connect with two corners of the lifting device. Gear assembly two and gear assembly four are wound with chains and extend downward to connect with the other two corners of the lifting device. Gear assembly one and gear assembly two are connected by a transmission shaft two, which is connected to a drive motor two.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention features distance sensors mounted on the support frames on both sides of the entrance, and displays electrically connected to the two distance sensors installed on the support frames on both sides of the exit. The display screens face inwards towards the interior of the lifting chamber for easy viewing by the driver. The two distance sensors are symmetrically arranged, with their detection ends perpendicular to the entrance, to detect the distance to both sides of the vehicle entering the lifting chamber in real time and transmit the detected data to the display screen. The driver can adjust the angle and position of the vehicle entering the entrance based on the real-time feedback data on the display screen, ensuring the vehicle enters centered and avoiding excessive deviation when parking, facilitating subsequent vehicle retrieval, and ensuring balanced force on both sides of the lifting device, preventing accelerated deformation and wear of mechanical parts due to uneven load, thereby extending service life.

[0014] The system features front wheel support comb teeth and rear wheel support comb teeth on the inner sides of both lifting frames. In each of the two front wheel support comb teeth, one tooth is positioned slightly lower than the others, and these two lower-positioned teeth are aligned with each other. When the vehicle's front wheels reach the lower-positioned comb teeth, the wheels will experience a slight downward pull due to the height difference, causing the front of the vehicle to tilt downwards simultaneously. This serves as a reminder to the driver that the vehicle has reached the optimal parking position, preventing the vehicle from being parked too far forward or too far back, and ensuring a reasonable parking location.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-9 ;

[0028] A multi-level parking garage capable of indicating parking location includes a support frame 1, a lift compartment 2 in the middle of the support frame 1, a lifting device 3 at the bottom of the lift compartment 2, and a lifting device 4 connected to the lifting device 3 at the top of the lift compartment 2. The lifting device 4 enables the lifting and lowering operation of the lifting device 3 for vertical vehicle transport. The bottom of the lift compartment 2 has an entrance 21 and an exit 22. Distance sensors 23 are installed on the support frame 1 on both sides of the entrance 21. Display screens 24 electrically connected to the two distance sensors 23 are installed on the support frame 1 on both sides of the exit 22. The display ends of the display screens 24 face the inside of the lift compartment 2 for easy viewing by drivers entering. Distance sensors 23 are symmetrically arranged, with their detection ends all perpendicular to the entrance 21. They are used to detect the distance between the two sides of the vehicle entering the lifting chamber 2 in real time and transmit the detected data to the display screen 24. The driver can adjust the angle and position of the vehicle entering the entrance 21 based on the real-time feedback data on the display screen 24 to ensure that the vehicle enters in the center and avoids excessive deviation angle when parking, which facilitates subsequent vehicle retrieval. It also ensures that the force on both sides of the lifting device is balanced, preventing the mechanical parts from deforming and wearing out due to uneven load, thereby extending the service life of the device. The lifting chamber 2 has several parking areas 5 on both sides, and each parking area 5 is equipped with a lateral movement device 6 for lateral movement.

[0029] The lifting device 3 includes two symmetrical lifting frames 31. Each lifting frame 31 has a front wheel support comb tooth assembly 32 and a rear wheel support comb tooth assembly 33 on its inner side. In each of the two front wheel support comb tooth assemblies 32, one comb tooth is positioned slightly lower than the others, and these two lower comb teeth are aligned with each other. When the front wheels of the vehicle reach the lower comb tooth position, the wheels will experience a slight downward drop due to the height difference, causing the front of the vehicle to tilt downwards synchronously. This serves to remind the driver that the vehicle has reached the optimal parking position, preventing the vehicle from being parked too far forward or too far back, and ensuring a reasonable parking position.

[0030] Working principle: When a vehicle enters the automated parking garage, the distance sensor 23 at the entrance 21 first monitors the distance between the vehicle and the distance sensors 23 on both sides in real time. The data is simultaneously displayed on the display screen 24 at the exit 22. The driver adjusts the steering wheel according to the prompts on the display screen 24 to keep the vehicle centered and enter the lifting device 3. When the front wheel moves to the lower comb of the front wheel support comb group 32, the downward feeling generated by the vehicle body prompts the driver to stop. After the driver stops and gets out of the car, the lifting device 4 is activated, which drives the lifting device 3 carrying the vehicle to rise vertically above the target parking area 5 so that the lateral movement device 6 can enter the lifting chamber 2 and be located below the lifting device 3. The lateral movement device 6 moves laterally, that is, from the parking garage to the lifting chamber 2. When the lateral movement device 6 is completely inside the lifting chamber 2, the lifting device 4 drives the lifting device 3 to move downward, so that the horizontal height of the lifting device 3 is lower than the horizontal height of the lateral movement device 6. During this process, the lifting device 3 will transfer the vehicle to the lateral movement device 6. Finally, the lateral movement device 6 moves horizontally to the original parking area 5, thus completing the parking of the vehicle. When it is time to retrieve the vehicle, simply control the lateral movement device 6 carrying the vehicle to move from the parking area 5 to the same level lift compartment 2. Then, the lifting device 4 drives the lifting device 3 to rise above the lateral movement device 6. During this process, the lifting device 3 can transfer the vehicle onto itself and lift the vehicle above the lateral movement device 6. Then, the lateral movement device 6 moves from the lift compartment 2 back to the original parking area 5. Finally, the lifting device 4 drives the lifting device 3 carrying the vehicle to descend and return to the bottom level. At this point, the driver can drive the vehicle away from the exit 22.

[0031] In this embodiment, each of the parking areas 5 includes a first crossbeam 51 arranged in the width direction, a second crossbeam 52 arranged in the length direction, and a third crossbeam 53. The first crossbeam 51, the second crossbeam 52, and the third crossbeam 53 are all fixedly connected to two adjacent support frames 1 by screws. The position between two adjacent first crossbeams 51 corresponds to one parking area 5. The second crossbeam 52 is located on the outside and is higher than the first crossbeam 51. It is used to limit the movement distance of the lateral movement device 6 and prevent it from accidentally sliding out. The third crossbeam 53 is used to reinforce the structural strength of the parking area 5 and the lifting chamber 2. The first crossbeam 51 is provided with a slide bar 54 and an electrical component 55 that supplies power to the lateral movement device 6.

[0032] In this embodiment, the lateral movement device 6 includes a lateral movement comb frame 61, which serves as the main support for vehicle parking. Several rollers 62 that cooperate with slide bars 54 are provided on the outer sides of both ends of the lateral movement comb frame 61. The lateral movement of the lateral movement comb frame 61 is achieved by the rolling friction between the rollers 62 and the slide bars 54. Sprocket sets 63 are installed on the inner sides of both ends of the lateral movement comb frame 61. The two sprocket sets 63 are respectively connected to several rollers 62 at the corresponding end. The two sprocket sets 63 are connected by a drive shaft 64 to ensure that the rollers 62 on both sides run synchronously. A drive motor 65 is provided on the lateral movement comb frame 61 to drive the drive shaft 64 to rotate. The drive motor 65 drives the drive shaft 64 to rotate, thereby driving the entire lateral movement device 6 to perform lateral displacement. To ensure continuous power supply to the drive motor 65, a sliding head assembly 66 electrically connected to the drive motor 65 is installed on the transverse comb frame 61. The sliding head assembly 66 is slidably connected to the electrical component 55, providing power to the drive motor 65 using a sliding contact power supply method. In this embodiment, the electrical component 55 includes several support frames 551, which are connected to a "C"-shaped fixed beam 552. The fixed beam 552 has its opening facing downwards, and a conductive slide rail 553 is installed inside it. The conductive slide rail 553 is slidably connected to the sliding head assembly 66. The sliding contact power supply technology eliminates the need to connect the drive motor 65 to the power supply device via wires, improving the safety and reliability of the device. For details, please refer to the published technical document "CN105401768A, Sliding Contact Power Supply System and Three-Dimensional Circulating Garage Having the Same". It should be noted that each transverse comb frame 61 has two sliding head assemblies 66, which are spaced apart. The lifting chamber 2 also contains an electrical component 55. As the traverse device 6 moves from the parking area 5 to the lifting chamber 2, the sliding head assembly 66 near the lifting chamber 2 gradually detaches from the conductive slide rail 553 in that area. However, the other sliding head assembly 66 remains in contact with the original conductive slide rail 553, continuing to supply power to the drive motor 65. Before the other sliding head assembly 66 detaches from the original conductive slide rail 553, the sliding head assembly 66 that detaches from the original conductive slide rail 553 first will be electrically connected to the conductive slide rail 553 inside the lifting chamber 2. When the traverse device 6 fully enters the lifting chamber 2, both sliding head assemblies 66 are connected to the conductive slide rail 553 of the lifting chamber 2, thus maintaining a powered state throughout the entire movement process and ensuring the continuity and stability of the operation of the traverse device 6.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lifting device 4 includes gear assemblies 41, 42, 43, and 44 symmetrically mounted on the top of the lifting chamber 2. Gear assemblies 41 and 43 are wound with chains and extend downward to connect with two corners of the lifting device 3. Gear assemblies 42 and 44 are wound with chains and extend downward to connect with the other two corners of the lifting device 3. Gear assemblies 41 and 42 are connected by a transmission shaft 45, which is connected to a drive motor 46. When the drive motor 46 is started, it drives the transmission shaft 45 to rotate, causing gear assemblies 41 and 42 to work synchronously. As gear assemblies 41 and 42 operate, they drive gear assemblies 43 and 44 to operate together via their respective chains, thereby achieving simultaneous control of the four corners of the lifting comb device and ensuring that it can move smoothly up and down in the vertical direction.

[0034] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.

[0035] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
