Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated parking garage technology; specifically, it relates to an overlapping electric guardrail for a mechanical parking garage. Background Technology
[0002] Mechanical automated parking systems have become an integral part of our daily lives and an indispensable component of urban parking systems. The safe operation of automated parking garages is a fundamental requirement in the industry. To better serve the public, safety lifting barriers have been installed on mechanical automated parking systems. Personnel are strictly prohibited from entering the equipment during operation. Specific requirements have also been set for barrier height: when lowered, the minimum ground clearance must be less than 400mm, and the top of the barrier must be 1100mm above the ground (the barrier itself has a minimum height of 700mm). When raised, the minimum ground clearance must be at least 1800mm above the parking surface (plus the barrier's own 700mm height and the lifting equipment height, for a total height of approximately 2800mm), meeting the requirements for personnel and vehicle access. However, some underground parking lots are limited by floor height, making it impossible to provide such a high clearance. Therefore, a new product is needed that can meet the safety height requirements for equipment operation, be used in space-constrained conditions, and also be simple in structure and economical.

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment provides an overlapping electric guardrail for a mechanical parking garage, comprising: Two upright columns 1 are fixed to the ground in a relatively distributed manner; Guardrail 1 6 and guardrail 2 7 are installed between two posts 1 in a height-adjustable manner, with guardrail 1 6 located behind guardrail 2 7 in the front-back direction; The guardrail bracket 10 is fixedly installed on the post 1. When the guardrail 1 6 and the guardrail 2 7 are in the lowest position, the guardrail bracket 10 supports the bottom of the guardrail 1 6 so that the guardrail 1 6 and the guardrail 2 7 are distributed vertically. The lifting plate 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of guardrail 2 7 and extends backward to the bottom of guardrail 1 6. When guardrail 2 7 moves upward, the lifting plate 8 pushes against the bottom of guardrail 1 6, so that guardrail 2 7 and guardrail 1 6 are in an overlapping state and rise to the highest position. The lifting component is installed on the post 1 and connected to the guardrail 2 7, and is used to lift or lower the guardrail 2 7.
[0018] In this embodiment, the uprights 1 are made of channel steel, and the flanges of the two uprights 1 are facing inwards relative to each other. Rollers are provided at both ends of guardrail 1 (6) and guardrail 2 (7), and the rollers have grooves in the middle, which engage with the flanges of the uprights 1. The rollers of guardrail 1 (6) and guardrail 2 (7) are respectively engaged with the two flanges of the uprights 1 and are staggered front to back. Therefore, the uprights 1 can serve as guide rails for the lifting and lowering movement of guardrail 1 (6) and the guardrails.
[0019] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a lifting motor 2, a guide wheel 4, and a steel wire rope 5. The lifting motor 2 is installed at the top of one of the columns 1. There is one guide wheel 4 at the top of each of the two columns 1. There is one steel wire rope 5 corresponding to each of the two guide wheels 4. The bottom ends of the two steel wire ropes 5 are connected to the two sides of the guardrail 7 respectively. The top end of the steel wire rope 5 passes around the top of the guide wheel 4 from one side and is connected to the lifting motor 2. The lifting motor 2 can simultaneously lift or lower the two steel wire ropes 5.
[0020] The lifting motor 2 raises guardrail 2 7 by continuously winding the steel wire rope 5. When guardrail 2 7 moves upward and overlaps with guardrail 1 6, the lifting support plate 8 supports the top of guardrail 1 6. Then, guardrail 1 6 will rise synchronously with guardrail 2 7 to the highest position. The lifting motor 2 lowers guardrail 2 7 by continuously releasing the steel wire rope 5. Guardrail 1 6, under its own weight, is supported by the lifting support plate 8 and descends synchronously with guardrail 2 7. When the bottom of guardrail 1 6 is supported by the guardrail bracket 10, guardrail 2 7 continues to descend to the lowest position. At this time, guardrail 1 6 and guardrail 2 7 are in an vertically distributed state.
[0021] The top of the column 1 is provided with a connecting plate 3 extending to the inner side of the column 1. The lifting motor 2 is installed on the outer side of the top of one of the connecting plates 3. Two guide wheels 4 are respectively rotatably installed on the inner sides of the two connecting plates 3.
[0022] Both sides of guardrail 2 7 are threaded with longitudinally distributed adjusting bolts 9, and the bottom ends of the two steel wire ropes 5 are respectively connected to the two adjusting bolts 9. By rotating the adjusting bolts 9, the height of the bottom end of the steel wire rope 5 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the straightness of guardrail 2 7.
[0023] The output shaft of the lifting motor 2 is connected to a drum 13, and the top ends of the two wire ropes 5 are wound and fixed on the drum 13.
[0024] One of the columns 1 has limit switches 12 installed on its upper and lower sides to limit the highest and lowest positions of the guardrail 7, respectively, and the limit switches 12 are mounted on the column 1 via brackets 11. When the guardrail 7 moves to its highest and lowest positions, the upper and lower limit switches 12 are triggered, and the lifting motor 2 immediately stops running.
[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: like Figure 5 As shown, when the electric lifting barrier is in the open state (when the garage is not in operation), barrier 2 7 is suspended at its upper limit position via steel cable 5, and the upper limit switch 12 is triggered. At the same time, the lifting plate 8 on barrier 2 7 supports barrier 1 6, so that barrier 2 7 and barrier 1 6 are at the same height and overlap. At this time, the garage is not in operation, and personnel can freely store (retrieve) vehicles located on the first floor.
[0026] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, when the equipment is operated by personnel to enter the required operating state (to ensure personnel safety, the safety barrier must be lowered before operation in the garage, and raised after operation), the wire rope 5 is released through the lifting motor 2 and the drum 13, and the second guardrail 7 moves downward. At this time, the first guardrail 6 slides downward together with the lifting plate 8 on the second guardrail 7. When it slides to a certain height, the first guardrail 6 lands on the guardrail bracket 10 at a pre-set height, and then the first guardrail 6 stops moving downward. At the same time, the second guardrail 7 continues to move downward until the limit switch 12 located below is triggered, and the second guardrail 7 stops. At this time, the first guardrail 6 and the second guardrail 7 are in an up-down state, together forming a safety barrier to prevent personnel from entering, and the garage mechanism begins to operate.
[0027] After the garage mechanism completes its operation, the wire rope 5 is lifted upwards via the lifting motor 2 and the drum 13, causing guardrail 7 to move upwards. When guardrail 7 rises to the same height as guardrail 6, the lifting plate 8 on guardrail 7 supports guardrail 6 and moves upwards simultaneously. At this time, guardrail 7 and guardrail 6 move upwards synchronously. When they reach a certain height, the upper limit switch 12 on the column 1 is triggered, and guardrail 7 and guardrail 6 stop synchronously. At this time, guardrail 7 and guardrail 6 return to their overlapping state (e.g., Figure 5 Once the guardrail is opened, people can freely store (or retrieve) vehicles located on the first floor.
[0028] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the above description. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the scope of this utility model.
