[0002] Currently, unmanned or semi-unmanned mechanical parking systems (such as vertical lift parking systems, horizontal moving parking systems, aisle stacking parking systems, and robotic parking systems) typically include a transfer area, a working area, and a transporter / robot. The transporter / robot operates between the transfer area and the working area, transporting vehicles from the transfer area to parking spaces in the working area, or vice versa. The working area is where the main equipment operates automatically and where vehicles are stored; users are prohibited from entering to prevent injury from the equipment.

[0003] When parking a vehicle, the driver drives the vehicle to be parked on the parking platform in the transfer area, stops it, leaves the transfer area, and then issues a parking command. The transporter / transport robot then enters the transfer area from the work area according to the command and moves the vehicle to the parking space in the work area.

[0004] However, when drivers leave the transition area, they may forget about people in the vehicle (such as children) or pets, which could create a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a mechanical parking device according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 4 This utility model provides a life detection system 100 for mechanical parking equipment, including a life sensor 110 and a scanning device 120.

[0036] The life sensor 110 has a conical detection range. The scanning device 120 is disposed within the transition zone 320 of the mechanical parking equipment 10, and is located outside all side windows 510 of the vehicle 500 to be parked within the transition zone 320. The life sensor 110 is mounted on the scanning device 120 and faces the vehicle 500 to be parked. The scanning device 120 is configured to move at least in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle 500 to be parked, such that the life sensor 110 scans at least all side windows 510 on the same side during movement.

[0037] The mechanical parking equipment 10 can be a vertical lifting parking equipment, a horizontal moving parking equipment, a lane stacking parking equipment, or a handling robot parking equipment, etc. The mechanical parking equipment 10 may include a conversion area 320, a working area 340, and a transporter / transport robot. The conversion area 320 and the working area 340 are typically relatively enclosed areas. The conversion area 320 is typically the area where, during vehicle storage and retrieval, the driver's driving state is switched to the parking equipment control state, or vice versa. The working area 340 is typically the area where the mechanical parking equipment 10 operates and stores vehicles; this area is off-limits to users to prevent injury. The transporter / transport robot operates in the conversion area 320 and the working area 340 to transport vehicles 500 parked in the conversion area 320 to the working area 340 and place them in designated parking spaces.

[0038] The conversion area 320 is usually equipped with a parking platform, which is typically rectangular, with the length of the rectangle extending along the front-rear direction of the vehicle 500 to be stored. Drivers need to park the vehicle 500 on the parking platform according to the specified position and angle.

[0039] In this embodiment, the life sensor 110 may include an infrared sensor (e.g., a pyroelectric infrared sensor), a radar sensor (e.g., a millimeter-wave radar sensor), a life-recognition camera, etc., without limitation. The life sensor 110 typically has a cone-shaped detection range, which can effectively detect life forms outside the vehicle and within the cone-shaped detection range. For life forms inside the vehicle and within the cone-shaped detection range, detection requires glass (e.g., front and rear windows, side windows 510, etc.). However, for smaller life forms, such as infants and small pets, they are easily obstructed by the vehicle's metal shell, seat backs, etc. Especially when the life sensor 110 is located on the front and rear sides of the vehicle, infants and small pets in the seats are easily obstructed by seat backs, leading to missed detection.

[0040] To address the aforementioned issues, this embodiment includes a scanning device 120. A life sensor 110 is mounted on the scanning device 120, positioned above the lower edge of the side window 510 and facing the vehicle. In other words, the life sensor 110 can obliquely downwards through the side window 510 glass to detect any living beings inside the vehicle. The scanning device 120 can be positioned on the left and / or right side of the parking space and can move back and forth, ensuring that the life sensor 110 can scan at least all side windows 510 on the same side, thereby detecting the presence of any living beings on each row of seats.

[0041] The scanning device 120 can be equipped with a power unit, such as a walking motor or a telescopic rod, to achieve movement, as needed. The scanning device 120 can move using guide rails, wheels on the ground of the transition area 320, or a linkage mechanism; there are no restrictions on this. It should be understood that the scanning device 120 can move in a straight line or along a curve, as long as it has a displacement component in the front-to-back direction, allowing the life sensor 110 to scan at least all side windows 510 on the same side of the vehicle.

[0042] In use, the driver drives the vehicle 500 to the parking platform in the conversion area 320, stops it, and leaves the conversion area 320. Then, the driver issues a parking command to the operating device (e.g., a human-machine interface). The operating device is electrically connected to the controller, which in turn is electrically connected to the scanning device 120 and the life sensor 110. The controller activates the life sensor 110 and controls the scanning device 120 to move back and forth, ensuring that the life sensor 110 scans at least all side windows 510 on the same side of the vehicle. When the life sensor 110 detects a living being, it sends a feedback to the controller, which then prevents the transporter / robot from moving the vehicle, thus preventing harm to people, pets, etc., inside the vehicle.

[0043] The life detection system 100 of this utility model, by setting up a scanning device 120 that can move in the front and rear direction, drives the life sensor 110 to scan at least all side windows 510 on the same side of the vehicle to be parked, reducing or avoiding the obstruction of light by opaque parts such as seat backs, reducing or avoiding blind spots, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of detecting life in the vehicle, and thus improving the safety of the mechanical parking equipment 10.

[0044] In some embodiments of the life detection system of this utility model, the life sensor 110 is a pyroelectric infrared sensor.

[0045] Pyroelectric infrared (PEI) sensors are a type of sensor that offers high accuracy, reliability, and low cost in detecting living organisms. PPI sensors typically have multiple signal zones; a trigger signal is generated when a living organism radiating infrared radiation crosses one of these zones. Therefore, PPI sensors can generally only detect moving living organisms. For stationary PPI sensors, when a living organism inside the vehicle is stationary (e.g., a sleeping infant), the sensor will not generate a trigger signal, resulting in inaccurate detection and missed detections.

[0046] In this embodiment, since the pyroelectric infrared sensor is mounted on the scanning device 120, the scanning device 120 moves with the pyroelectric infrared sensor during detection, causing the stationary living body to move relative to the pyroelectric infrared sensor, thereby effectively detecting the stationary living body.

[0047] In some embodiments of the life detection system of this utility model, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the life detection system 100 also includes front and rear guide rails 130, which are fixedly installed on the left or right side of the vehicle 500 to be parked and extend in the front-rear direction. The length L1 of the front and rear guide rails 130 is greater than 2 / 3 of the maximum total length L2 of the vehicle that can be parked in the mechanical parking device 10. The scanning device 120 is slidably connected to the front and rear guide rails 130.

[0048] In this embodiment, the front and rear guide rails 130 can be linear guide rails, which can be fixedly installed on the floor, wall, or ceiling of the conversion area 320. The front and rear guide rails 130 are used to limit the movement of the scanning device 120. In some embodiments of this application, racks, conveyor chains, or other devices can be provided on the front and rear guide rails 130 to cooperate with the power unit of the scanning device 120 and cause the scanning device 120 to move along the guide rails.

[0049] The conversion zone 320 is typically equipped with a front overlength detection switch 213 and a rear overlength detection switch 214 (the overlength detection switch is usually a photoelectric switch) to detect whether the vehicle 500 to be parked exceeds the maximum total length L2 of the mechanical parking equipment 10. In this embodiment, the distance between the front overlength detection switch 213 and the rear overlength detection switch 214 can be used as the maximum total length L2 of the parking equipment.

[0050] By setting the length L1 of the front and rear guide rails 130 to be greater than 2 / 3 of the maximum total length L2 of the parking vehicle of the mechanical parking device 10, the range of the scanning device 120 moving back and forth can cover almost all the side windows on the same side of the parking vehicle, ensuring that the life sensor 110 can scan at least all the side windows 510 on the same side.

[0051] In some embodiments of the life detection system of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are two front and rear guide rails 130, which are respectively located to the left of the left overwidth detection switch 211 and to the right of the right overwidth detection switch 212 of the parking equipment. Each front and rear guide rail 130 is equipped with a scanning device 120 and a life sensor 110.

[0052] In this embodiment, by setting scanning devices 120 and life sensor 110 on both the left and right sides of the vehicle to be stored 500, life can be detected from the side windows 510 on both sides, thereby improving the effectiveness and accuracy of life detection and preventing omissions.

[0053] The conversion area 320 is typically equipped with a left overwidth detection switch 211 and a right overwidth detection switch 212 (the overwidth detection switch is usually a photoelectric switch) to detect whether the vehicle 500 to be parked exceeds the maximum width of the vehicle that the mechanical parking equipment 10 can park. In this embodiment, by placing the left front and rear guide rails 130 to the left of the left overwidth detection switch 211 and the right front and rear guide rails 130 to the right of the right overwidth detection switch 212, it is possible to prevent the limited parking space in the conversion area 320 from being encroached upon, and to ensure that the life sensor 110 is located outside the corresponding side window 510.

[0054] In some embodiments of the life detection system of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the life sensor 110 is mounted on the scanning device 120 in a pitch-swing manner.

[0055] The life sensor 110 is rotatably connected to the scanning device 120 via a horizontal rotating shaft, and can be tilted and oscillated within a certain range via a power device such as a motor. Specifically, when the scanning device 120 moves the life sensor 110, the life sensor 110 itself continuously tilts and oscillates within a certain range, thereby further improving the detection range and preventing the omission of life forms.

[0056] In some embodiments of the life detection system of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the living organism detection system 100 also includes a ring rail 140. The ring rail 140 is horizontally arranged around the vehicle 500 to be stored and is located above the over-height detection switch 215 of the parking equipment. The scanning device 120 is slidably connected to the ring rail 140.

[0057] The conversion zone 320 is usually equipped with an over-height detection switch 215 (the over-height detection switch is usually a photoelectric switch) to detect whether the vehicle 500 to be parked exceeds the maximum vehicle height of the mechanical parking equipment 10.

[0058] In this embodiment, the annular guide rail 140 can be fixedly installed on the top wall of the conversion area 320. The annular guide rail 140 can take the center of the parking platform as its own center. In this way, when the scanning device 120 moves along the annular guide rail 140, it can rotate around the vehicle to be stored 500, thereby enabling it to scan the interior of the vehicle from the outside of the front and rear windows and the side windows 510 of the vehicle to be stored 500, further improving the accuracy and effectiveness of detecting living beings inside the vehicle.

[0059] In some embodiments of the life detection system of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the left end of the annular guide rail 140 is located to the left of the left overwidth detection switch 211 of the parking equipment. The right end of the annular guide rail 140 is located to the right of the right overwidth detection switch 212 of the parking equipment. The front end of the annular guide rail 140 is located in front of the front overlength detection switch 213 of the parking equipment. The rear end of the annular guide rail 140 is located behind the rear overlength detection switch 214 of the parking equipment. Thus, when the scanning device 120 moves along the annular guide rail 140, it can rotate around the vehicle 500 to be stored, thereby enabling scanning of the vehicle interior from the outside of the front and rear windows and the side windows 510 of the vehicle 500, thereby further improving the accuracy and effectiveness of detecting living beings inside the vehicle.

[0060] In some embodiments of the life detection system of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, there are two scanning devices 120, located at opposite ends of the annular guide rail 140, and each scanning device 120 is equipped with a life sensor 110.

[0061] A drive device 151 is provided at the center of the annular guide rail 140. The drive device 151 drives the two scanning devices 120 to rotate along the annular guide rail 140 through the transmission mechanism 152.

[0062] In this embodiment, two life sensors 110 can scan the interior of the vehicle from relative angles. Each scanning device 120 only needs to rotate half a turn to scan the interior of the vehicle from various angles, thus improving scanning efficiency.

[0063] In this embodiment, the drive device 151 can be a rotary motor, located at the center of the annular guide rail 140. The transmission mechanism 152 can be symmetrically arranged transmission rods, with the rotary motor driving the transmission rods to rotate, thereby simultaneously moving the two scanning devices 120. This reduces the manufacturing cost of the life detection system 100.

[0064] In some embodiments of the life detection system of this utility model, there are two scanning devices 120, located at opposite ends of an annular guide rail 140, and each scanning device 120 is equipped with a life sensor 110. A driving device 151 is provided at the center of the annular guide rail 140, and the driving device 151 drives the two scanning devices 120 to rotate along the annular guide rail 140 through a transmission mechanism 152.

[0065] The annular guide rail 140 is elliptical, with its major axis pointing in the front-to-back direction. The drive device 151 is a rotary motor, and the transmission mechanism 152 consists of two opposing telescopic rods. One end of each telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the output of the rotary motor, and the other end is fixedly connected to a scanning device 120.

[0066] In this embodiment, the elliptical ring guide rail 140 is more suitable for rectangular parking platforms, which can reduce the dimensions in the width direction, thereby reducing the space occupied by the guide rail. The telescopic rod can extend and retract along the axis of the ellipse, and drive the scanning device 120 to slide along the elliptical ring guide rail 140.

[0067] In some embodiments of the life detection system of this utility model, the annular guide rail 140 is elliptical, with the major axis of the ellipse in the front-back direction. The drive device 151 is a rotary motor, and the transmission mechanism 152 is a transmission rod. The center of the transmission rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor, and both ends of the transmission rod are axially slidably connected to a scanning device 120.

[0068] In this embodiment, the scanning device 120 may be provided with a sliding hole, and the end of the transmission rod may pass through the sliding hole axially to drive the scanning device 120 to slide along the elliptical ring guide rail 140.

[0069] In some embodiments of the mechanical parking device of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mechanical parking equipment 10 includes a conversion area 320 and a life detection system 100 of any of the above embodiments or combinations thereof. The mechanical parking equipment 10 can be a vertical lifting parking equipment, a planar moving parking equipment, a lane stacking parking equipment, a handling robot parking equipment, etc.

[0070] The mechanical parking device 10 of this embodiment can effectively detect whether there are people, pets or other living beings left in the vehicle, thereby improving the safety of the mechanical parking device 10.

[0071] In some embodiments of the mechanical parking device 10 of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mechanical parking equipment 10 also includes a work area 340, a transporter (not shown in the figure), a transfer area door 310, and a work area door 330.

[0072] Work area 340 is equipped with multiple parking spaces. A transporter is used to move vehicles 500 parked in transfer area 320 to their corresponding parking spaces. Transfer area door 310 is equipped with a first opening / closing controller 350, which is electrically connected to a life sensor 110. The first opening / closing controller 350 is configured to open the transfer area door 310 after the life sensor 110 detects a living being. Work area door 330 is equipped with a second opening / closing controller 360, which is electrically connected to the life sensor 110. The second opening / closing controller 360 is configured to close the work area door 330 after the life sensor 110 detects a living being.

[0073] The opening and closing controller may include a door drive motor. After the life sensor 110 detects a living being, it controls the opening of the transfer area door 310, allowing the driver to enter the transfer area 320 through the transfer area door 310 and remove any people, pets, etc., remaining in the vehicle. By controlling the work area door 330 to be closed, it can prevent the transporter from entering the transfer area 320 through the work area door 330, or prevent the transporter from carrying the vehicle 500 to be stored into the work area 340 through the work area door 330.

[0074] In some embodiments of the mechanical parking device of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mechanical parking equipment 10 also includes a display device 410. The display device 410 is located outside the transition zone door 310 and is electrically connected to the life sensor 110.

[0075] The display device 410 can be an LED light, a display screen, etc. The display device 410 can be installed outside the transition zone door 310, or it can use the display screen of an operating device with a display screen (e.g., a human-machine interface with a display screen). Warning images may include warning text, warning graphics, etc.

[0076] In some embodiments of the mechanical parking device 10 of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the mechanical parking device 10 also includes a sound device 420. The sound device 420 is located outside the transition zone door 310 and is electrically connected to the life sensor 110. The sound device 420 is configured to emit a warning sound regarding the presence of a life after the life sensor 110 detects a life.

[0077] The sound device 420 may be a buzzer, alarm, etc. The display device 410 may be located outside the transition zone door 310, or it may use the speaker of the voice-enabled operating device (e.g., a voice-enabled human-machine interface).
