Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated parking system technology, specifically to a vehicle-carrying device with a buffer structure and an automated parking system. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous increase in car ownership in modern society, the problem of parking difficulties has become increasingly prominent, and multi-level parking garages, as a parking facility that efficiently utilizes space, have been widely used. In a multi-level parking garage, the vehicle-carrying device is one of its core components, which typically includes a vehicle-carrying platform and guide ramps connected to the front and rear ends of the platform; the vehicle-carrying platform is used to carry vehicles, and the guide ramps are used to guide vehicles into or out of the platform.

[0003] However, in practical applications, the vehicle-mounted device with the above structure has the following drawbacks: 1. When a vehicle drives into the vehicle carrier or moves along the guide ramp, the impact force generated by the vehicle's inertia can directly act on the vehicle carrier or the frame of the multi-level parking garage, which can easily lead to wear and noise between the vehicle carrier and the garage frame. Long-term use may affect the overall lifespan of the equipment and vehicle safety. Second, most existing vehicle-carrying devices, whether vehicle-carrying platforms or guide ramps, do not have relevant buffer structures. Even if some vehicle-carrying devices use buffer pads to improve their impact resistance, these buffer pads are mostly fixed structures and cannot dynamically adjust their buffering effect according to changes in the position of the vehicle-carrying platform and guide ramp, or the weight of different vehicles.

[0004] Third, the existing guide ramps and vehicle carriers are mostly connected by rigid structures. During the lifting or lateral movement of the vehicle carrier, the contact angle between the guide ramp and the ground cannot be adjusted adaptively, which is not conducive to ensuring the stability of the vehicle when entering or leaving the vehicle carrier.

[0005] Fourth, while some vehicle-carrying devices have height-adjustable buffer structures, their complex structures (such as multi-stage hydraulic or electronic control) not only increase manufacturing costs but also make daily maintenance difficult, making it hard to meet the dual requirements of reliability and economy for automated parking systems. Furthermore, they are not suitable for the high-frequency, multi-condition operation of automated parking systems.

[0006] This shows that existing technologies need further improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of the above problems, this utility model provides a vehicle-carrying device with a buffer structure and a three-dimensional parking garage, so as to solve the problems of poor buffering and guiding effects of the vehicle-carrying device in the existing three-dimensional parking garage and the inability to adaptively adjust the buffering force and guiding angle.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: In a first aspect, this utility model provides a vehicle carrying device with a buffer structure for a three-dimensional parking garage, comprising: a vehicle carrying plate having a front end and a rear end opposite to the front end; guide ramps pivotally connected to the front end and rear end of the vehicle carrying plate respectively, each guide ramp having an inclined top surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface; and a first buffer pad disposed at the bottom of the guide ramp, the bottom of the first buffer pad protruding from the bottom of the guide ramp, and the first buffer pad being rotatable.

[0009] Furthermore, the connection between the first buffer pad and the bottom of the guide ramp has a first axis, and the pivot connection between each guide ramp and the vehicle platform has a second axis, with the first axis and the second axis being parallel.

[0010] Furthermore, the vehicle-carrying device also includes: a second buffer pad located below the vehicle-carrying plate, with the bottom of the second buffer pad protruding beyond the bottom of the vehicle-carrying plate; and an adjustment assembly connected to the bottom of the vehicle-carrying plate and the second buffer pad respectively, for adjusting the protrusion distance of the second buffer pad relative to the vehicle-carrying plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the vehicle carrier includes a base frame and a cover plate located above the base frame. The base frame has a supporting longitudinal beam arranged along the length of the cover plate. The vehicle carrier also includes: a fixed plate connected to the supporting longitudinal beam; a third buffer pad located below the fixed plate; a plurality of adjusting plates stacked between the fixed plate and the third buffer pad; and fasteners capable of passing through the third buffer pad and the plurality of adjusting plates respectively and connecting to the fixed plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes: an adjustment seat disposed at the bottom of the vehicle platform, having a sliding cavity with a bottom opening, and an adjustment hole communicating with the sliding cavity on the top wall of the adjustment seat; a pair of connecting blocks located on both sides inside the sliding cavity, which are respectively connected to the top of the second buffer pad; and a pair of adjustment screws corresponding to the connecting blocks, which pass through the adjustment hole to abut against the top of the pair of connecting blocks.

[0013] Furthermore, the top wall of the adjusting seat is provided with a guide hole that communicates with the sliding cavity. The adjusting assembly also includes a guide rod located between a pair of adjusting screws, which passes through the guide hole and connects to the middle of the second buffer pad.

[0014] Furthermore, the material of the first cushioning pad and / or the second cushioning pad includes one of rubber, silicone, polyurethane, or foam.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the first and / or second cushioning pads is provided with an anti-slip part.

[0016] Furthermore, bushings are provided at both the front and rear ends of the vehicle platform, and a rotating shaft is provided on the side of each guide ramp near the vehicle platform. The rotating shaft cooperates with the bushing to realize the rotational connection between the vehicle platform and each guide ramp.

[0017] Secondly, this utility model also provides a three-dimensional parking garage, comprising: a front column; a rear column aligned with the front column; a lifting turntable disposed on the front column, capable of moving up and down along the front column and rotating about a vertical axis; a track beam device connected to the front column and the rear column respectively, and having a pair of traveling tracks located on both sides of the front column; a connecting track disposed on the lifting turntable, which, as the lifting turntable rotates, can connect or separate from either traveling track until it is perpendicular to the traveling track; and a vehicle carrying device, which, through a traveling unit, cooperates with the traveling track to enable the vehicle carrying device to move linearly along the traveling track.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows: On one hand, the vehicle-carrying device provided by this utility model includes a vehicle-carrying platform, a guide ramp, and a first buffer pad disposed at the bottom of the guide ramp. Firstly, the front and rear ends of the vehicle-carrying platform are pivotally connected to the guide ramp, allowing the guide ramp to rotate relative to the vehicle-carrying platform. When a vehicle enters or exits the vehicle-carrying device, the guide ramp can rotate appropriately according to the position and angle of the supporting surface (such as the ground), guiding the vehicle smoothly into or out of the vehicle-carrying device, improving the convenience and stability of vehicle entry and exit. Secondly, when a vehicle enters / exits the vehicle-carrying platform, the first buffer pad can adaptively rotate with the change in the angle of the supporting surface, keeping it in contact with the supporting surface at all times, thereby absorbing impact forces from different directions and reducing noise and vibration generated by rigid collisions. Thirdly, the first buffer pad protrudes from the bottom of the guide ramp, allowing it to preferentially contact the supporting surface, avoiding direct friction between the guide ramp and the supporting surface or direct impact between the guide ramp and the supporting surface, thus reducing structural wear of the vehicle-carrying device.

[0019] On the other hand, the automated parking system provided by this utility model includes a front column, a rear column, a lifting turntable, a track beam device, a connecting track, and the aforementioned vehicle-carrying device. The lifting turntable can move up and down along the front column and rotate on a vertical axis, allowing the connecting track to flexibly connect or separate from the travel track, enabling rapid and accurate transfer of the vehicle-carrying device between different locations within the automated parking system. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the travel unit and the travel track, the vehicle-carrying device can move linearly along the travel track, thus achieving convenient storage and retrieval of vehicles within the automated parking system. In addition, the entire automated parking system, through the coordinated work of its components, improves the utilization rate of parking space, achieving efficient and safe parking of vehicles. Simultaneously, the buffer structure of the vehicle-carrying device ensures the stability and safety of vehicles during transfer, extending the service life of the automated parking system.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a vehicle-carrying device with a buffer structure for a multi-level parking garage 300, including a vehicle-carrying platform 100, a guide ramp 200, and a first buffer pad 210. The vehicle-carrying platform 100 has a front end and a rear end opposite to the front end; the guide ramps 200 are pivotally connected to the front end and rear end of the vehicle-carrying platform 100, and each guide ramp 200 has an inclined top surface and a bottom surface opposite to the top surface; the first buffer pad 210 is disposed at the bottom of the guide ramp 200, and the bottom of the first buffer pad 210 protrudes from the bottom of the guide ramp 200 and is rotatable relative to the guide ramp 200.

[0025] It should be noted that the specific shape and size of the vehicle carrier 100 can be implemented in various ways. For example, depending on different vehicle types and parking requirements, the vehicle carrier 100 can be designed in various shapes, such as common rectangles, trapezoids, or irregular shapes customized according to garage space. Its length and width can also be flexibly adjusted to accommodate vehicles of different sizes, such as family cars, SUVs, and small trucks, making the vehicle carrier more widely applicable. Furthermore, the vehicle carrier 100 can be made of high-strength steel or new composite materials to ensure sufficient strength to support the vehicle while reducing the overall weight of the vehicle carrier, thus improving its operational flexibility and efficiency. Additionally, an anti-slip coating or anti-slip texture can be added to the surface of the vehicle carrier 100, especially on the top surface of the inclined guide ramp 200. The added anti-slip coating or texture enhances the friction between the vehicle tires and the guide ramp 200, thereby minimizing vehicle slippage when entering or exiting the vehicle carrier and further improving the safety of the equipment during operation.

[0026] Regarding the specific structure of the pivotal connection between the guide ramp 200 and the vehicle platform 100, this application can also have several different implementations. In one embodiment, the vehicle platform 100 and the guide ramp 200 can be connected by a rotating shaft and a shaft hole; in another embodiment, the vehicle platform 100 and the guide ramp 200 can be connected by a hinge structure; in yet another embodiment, the vehicle platform 100 and the guide ramp 200 can be connected by a ball joint structure; and in yet another embodiment, the vehicle platform 100 and the guide ramp 200 can also be connected by a ring snap-fit ​​structure. This application does not limit the specific connection method between the vehicle platform 100 and the guide ramp 200.

[0027] Optionally, this application may also provide an elastic buffer layer or a deformable guide structure, such as a rubber buffer strip or a corrugated guide plate, on the inclined top surface of the guide ramp 200. These structures can deform to a certain extent when the vehicle tires come into contact with them, thus providing better buffering and guidance, reducing the impact and bumps caused by the sudden contact of the vehicle tires with the hard ramp, while also reducing noise and improving the comfort of vehicle entry and exit.

[0028] Furthermore, the guide ramp 200 can be either a single-piece ramp or a split ramp. When it is a single-piece ramp, it can connect to the entire width-direction edge of the front or rear end of the vehicle platform 100, presenting a unified visual effect with the vehicle platform 100. When it is a split ramp, it can connect to both sides of the width-direction edge of the front or rear end of the vehicle platform 100, or to the four corners of the vehicle platform 100, presenting a split visual effect with the vehicle platform 100. It is understood that the specific number of guide ramps 200 can be reasonably configured by the user according to actual product requirements and the specific structure of the guide ramps 200. For example, when the guide ramps 200 are single-piece ramps, there can be two; when the guide ramps 200 are split ramps, there can be four or three, and this application does not limit this.

[0029] Regarding the connection method between the first buffer pad 210 and the guide ramp 200, this application can also have a variety of different methods, such as shaft connection, ball joint connection, etc. As for the specific structure used for connection between the two, the technicians can make reasonable configuration according to different needs and by referring to the existing rotating structures, which will not be elaborated here.

[0030] The vehicle-carrying device provided by this utility model firstly, through the pivotal connection between the front and rear ends of the vehicle-carrying plate 100 and the guide ramp 200, the guide ramp 200 can rotate relative to the vehicle-carrying plate 100. When a vehicle enters or exits the vehicle-carrying device, the guide ramp 200 can rotate appropriately according to the position and angle of the supporting surface (such as the ground), guiding the vehicle smoothly into or out of the vehicle-carrying device, improving the convenience and stability of vehicle entry and exit. Secondly, when the vehicle enters / exits the vehicle-carrying plate 100, the first buffer pad 210 can adaptively rotate with the change of the angle of the supporting surface, keeping it in contact with the supporting surface at all times, thereby absorbing the impact force from different directions and reducing the noise and vibration generated by rigid collisions. Thirdly, the first buffer pad 210 protrudes from the bottom of the guide ramp 200, allowing it to preferentially contact the supporting surface, avoiding direct friction between the guide ramp 200 and the supporting surface or direct impact between the guide ramp 200 and the supporting surface, thus helping to reduce structural wear of the vehicle-carrying device.

[0031] In some embodiments, the connection between the first buffer pad 210 and the bottom of the guide ramp 200 has a first axis (not marked in the figure), and the pivot connection between each guide ramp 200 and the vehicle platform 100 has a second axis (not marked in the figure), and the first axis and the second axis are parallel.

[0032] The first axis is parallel to the second axis, so that the rotation direction of the first buffer pad 210 is consistent with the rotation direction of the guide ramp 200 relative to the vehicle platform 100. In this way, during the vehicle entry and exit process, the first buffer pad 210 can better adjust its position and angle with the rotation of the guide ramp 200, and always maintain good contact and buffering effect with the vehicle tires, further enhancing the adaptability and buffering performance of the vehicle platform.

[0033] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,as well as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle-carrying device also includes a second buffer pad 110 and an adjustment assembly 120. The second buffer pad 110 is located below the vehicle-carrying plate 100, and the bottom of the second buffer pad 110 protrudes from the bottom of the vehicle-carrying plate 100. The adjustment assembly 120 is connected to the bottom of the vehicle-carrying plate 100 and the second buffer pad 110 respectively, for adjusting the protrusion distance of the second buffer pad 110 relative to the vehicle-carrying plate 100.

[0034] On the one hand, the second buffer pad 110 located below the vehicle platform 100 forms a double-layer buffer structure with the first buffer pad 210, which can further disperse the static pressure and dynamic impact during vehicle parking, and minimize the direct deformation of the vehicle platform 100. On the other hand, the second buffer pad 110 protrudes from the bottom of the vehicle platform 100. Compared with the vehicle platform 100, the second buffer pad 110 can contact the support surface in advance and play a buffering role, reducing the collision and impact force that the vehicle platform 100 may be subjected to, and further improving the impact resistance of the vehicle-carrying device. Furthermore, the adjusting component 120 can adjust the protrusion distance of the second buffer pad 110 relative to the vehicle platform 100. According to the specific structure of different multi-level parking garages 300 and actual usage requirements, the buffering range and force of the second buffer pad 110 can be flexibly adjusted, improving the versatility and adaptability of the vehicle-carrying device, enabling it to perform well in different parking garage environments.

[0035] Regarding the specific structure of the adjustment component 120, although there are many different implementations in this application, in order to facilitate a clearer understanding of its adjustment process for the second buffer pad 110, the specific structure of a preferred embodiment will be described below: Preferably, refer to Figure 6As shown, the adjustment assembly 120 includes an adjustment seat 121, a pair of connecting blocks 122, and a pair of adjustment screws 123. The adjustment seat 121 is located at the bottom of the vehicle platform 100 and has a sliding cavity (not marked in the figure) with a bottom opening. The top wall of the adjustment seat 121 has an adjustment hole (not marked in the figure) communicating with the sliding cavity. The pair of connecting blocks 122 are located on opposite sides inside the sliding cavity and are respectively connected to the top of the second buffer pad 110. The pair of adjustment screws 123 correspond to the connecting blocks 122 respectively, and the pair of adjustment screws 123 can pass through the adjustment hole to abut against the top of the pair of connecting blocks 122.

[0036] The adjusting seat 121 is located at the bottom of the vehicle platform 100. Its sliding cavity provides movement space for the connecting block 122, and the bottom opening facilitates the installation and adjustment of the connecting block 122. The adjusting hole allows the adjusting screw 123 to pass smoothly through and abut against the connecting block 122. By rotating the adjusting screw 123, the position of the connecting block 122 in the sliding cavity can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the protrusion distance of the second buffer pad 110, improving the accuracy and stability of the adjustment.

[0037] Furthermore, a pair of adjusting screws 123 correspond to a pair of connecting blocks 122 respectively. This symmetrical structural design allows the connecting blocks 122 on both sides to be simultaneously stressed and drive the second buffer pad 110 to move smoothly when adjusting the protrusion distance of the second buffer pad 110. This ensures the stability of the second buffer pad 110 during the adjustment process, avoids the buffer pad from tilting or shifting, and improves the reliability and safety of the vehicle-mounted device.

[0038] Furthermore, continue to refer to Figure 6 As shown, the top wall of the adjusting seat 121 may also be provided with a guide hole (not marked in the figure) communicating with the sliding cavity. The adjusting assembly 120 further includes a guide rod 124 located between a pair of adjusting screws 123, and the guide rod 124 can pass through the guide hole and connect to the middle of the second buffer pad 110.

[0039] When adjusting the protrusion distance of the second buffer pad 110 by adjusting the screw 123, the guide rod 124 can guide the second buffer pad 110, ensuring that the second buffer pad 110 moves smoothly in the correct direction, further improving the accuracy and stability of the adjustment, preventing the second buffer pad 110 from shaking, jamming or lateral displacement that may occur during the adjustment process, and further improving the smoothness of the operation of the adjustment component 120.

[0040] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the vehicle carrier 100 includes a base frame 130 and a cover plate 140 located above the base frame 130. The base frame 130 has a supporting longitudinal beam 131 arranged along the length of the cover plate 140. The vehicle carrier also includes a fixed plate 150 connected to the supporting longitudinal beam 131, a third buffer pad 160 located below the fixed plate 150, several adjusting plates 170, and fasteners (not shown in the figure). The several adjusting plates 170 are stacked between the fixed plate 150 and the third buffer pad 160, and the fasteners can pass through the third buffer pad 160 and the several adjusting plates 170 respectively to connect to the fixed plate 150.

[0041] Compared to the above embodiments where the protrusion distance of the second buffer pad 110 is adjusted by cooperating with the adjusting component 120, this embodiment forms an adjustable buffer structure through the cooperation of the fixing plate 150, the third buffer pad 160, several adjusting plates 170, and fasteners. Specifically, by increasing or decreasing the number of adjusting plates 170 or adjusting the tightness of the fasteners, the buffering performance of the third buffer pad 160 can be changed, thereby adjusting the buffering effect of the vehicle platform 100 and further improving the buffering capacity and flexibility of the vehicle platform device. Furthermore, the adjusting plates 170 and fasteners are designed to be detachable, facilitating quick replacement of worn third buffer pads 160 or adjusting plates 170, reducing equipment maintenance costs.

[0042] In some embodiments, the material of the first cushioning pad 210 and / or the second cushioning pad 110 includes one of rubber, silicone, polyurethane, or foam; correspondingly, the material of the third cushioning pad 160 may also include one of rubber, silicone, polyurethane, or foam.

[0043] All of the above materials possess excellent elasticity, wear resistance, and impact resistance. For example, rubber is elastic and wear-resistant, quickly returning to its original shape after withstanding significant impact; silicone is soft, heat-resistant, and aging-resistant, adapting to various environmental conditions; polyurethane is high-strength, elastic, and oil-resistant, suitable for various complex usage scenarios; and foam is lightweight and has excellent cushioning performance, effectively absorbing impact energy. The cushioning pad in this application can be made of suitable materials according to different usage requirements and environmental conditions to achieve optimal cushioning effects and improve the overall performance of the vehicle-mounted device.

[0044] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the first buffer pad 210 and / or the second buffer pad 110 is also provided with an anti-slip part 211; correspondingly, the bottom of the third buffer pad 160 may also be provided with an anti-slip part 211. The anti-slip part 211 may be an anti-slip rib, anti-slip texture, anti-slip protrusion, anti-slip groove, or other structures.

[0045] The anti-slip part 211 increases the friction between each buffer pad and the supporting surface, preventing the vehicle carrier from sliding during vehicle entry, exit, or movement, thus improving the stability and safety of the vehicle carrier. Especially when a vehicle enters or exits the vehicle carrier, the anti-slip part 211 effectively prevents the vehicle from losing control or the vehicle carrier from shifting position due to sliding between the buffer pad and the supporting surface, ensuring the safety of the vehicle and personnel.

[0046] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 8 As shown, bushings 180 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the vehicle platform 100, and a rotating shaft 220 is provided on the side of each guide ramp 200 near the vehicle platform 100. The rotating shaft 220 cooperates with the bushing 180 to realize the rotational connection between the vehicle platform 100 and each guide ramp 200.

[0047] The connection between the bushing 180 and the rotating shaft 220 is simple, compact, and reliable, ensuring the stable rotation of the guide ramp 200 on the vehicle carrier 100. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the bushing 180 and the rotating shaft 220 also provides shock absorption, further reducing the impact force transmitted to the vehicle carrier 100 during vehicle entry and exit, protecting the connection structure between the vehicle carrier 100 and the guide ramp 200, and extending the service life of the vehicle carrier device.

[0048] In addition, refer to Figure 9 As shown, this utility model also provides a three-dimensional parking garage 300, including a front column 310, a rear column 320, a lifting turntable 330, a track beam device 340, a connecting track 350, and a vehicle carrying device as described above. The rear column 320 is aligned with the front column 310. The lifting turntable 330 is mounted on the front column 310 and can move up and down along the front column 310, and the lifting turntable 330 can rotate about a vertical axis. The track beam device 340 is connected to both the front column 310 and the rear column 320, and the track beam device 340 has a pair of traveling tracks (not marked in the figure) located on both sides of the front column 310. The connecting track 350 is mounted on the lifting turntable 330, and as the lifting turntable 330 rotates, the connecting track 350 can connect with or separate from any of the traveling tracks until it is perpendicular to the traveling track. The vehicle carrying device can cooperate with the traveling track through a traveling unit 360, enabling the vehicle carrying device to move linearly along the traveling track.

[0049] The automated parking system 300 provided by this utility model comprises a complete system consisting of a front column 310, a rear column 320, a lifting turntable 330, a track beam device 340, a traveling track, a connecting track 350, and a vehicle-carrying device, all working together. The lifting turntable 330 can move up and down along the front column 310 and rotate on a vertical axis, allowing the connecting track 350 to flexibly connect or separate from the traveling track, enabling rapid and accurate transfer of the vehicle-carrying device between different locations within the automated parking system 300. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the traveling unit 360 and the traveling track, the vehicle-carrying device can move linearly along the traveling track, facilitating convenient storage and retrieval of vehicles within the automated parking system 300. In addition, the coordinated operation of all components improves the utilization rate of parking space, achieving efficient and safe parking. The buffer structure of the vehicle-carrying device also ensures the stability and safety of vehicles during transfer, extending the service life of the automated parking system 300.
