Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vertical circulation parking garage technology, specifically a vertical circulation suspended basket anti-sway device. Background Technology
[0002] Vertical circulation parking garages utilize vertical circulation to store and retrieve vehicles. The suspended baskets are the key carriers for vehicle storage and retrieval. The baskets are secured to the vehicles by a steel frame and move along vertical tracks driven by motors, enabling rapid transport of vehicles from the ground floor to the target parking space. Typically, the baskets adopt a vertical circulation design, transforming planar parking space into three-dimensional space. For example, an n-story parking garage occupies the area of only 2 ground parking spaces but can provide (n-1)×2 parking spaces, increasing space utilization by 6-8 times. This is suitable for scenarios such as residential communities and commercial complexes where land resources are scarce.
[0003] However, traditional suspended platforms usually lack limit devices. Due to the gap between the upper and lower suspended platforms and the gap when the sprocket and chain mesh, the suspended platform will sway during operation. When the platform sways, its movement trajectory deviates from the preset path and may directly hit the trigger rod or sensing area of the limit switch, causing the limit switch to fail. Moreover, when the platform sways, its center of gravity position changes continuously, causing the local load to exceed the design value, resulting in deformation of the platform structure and affecting the normal use of the garage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vertical circulating suspended platform anti-sway device. Through the cooperation of hydraulic clamps and positioning blocks, when one of the suspended platforms needs to be stored or retrieved, the hydraulic clamps are energized to clamp the positioning blocks. After the positioning blocks are clamped, the suspended platform is effectively limited, thereby achieving the purpose of anti-sway and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vertical circulating suspended basket anti-sway device, comprising a hydraulic clamp fixed on the ground at the rear of the garage and multiple positioning blocks fixed on one side of the suspended basket; The hydraulic clamp includes a drive unit for mounting to the rear floor of the garage and a clamping unit mounted at one end of the drive unit, the clamping unit being connected to the drive unit via a linkage mechanism; The drive unit is energized when the basket moves to the garage floor and drives the clamping unit to clamp the positioning block. When the vehicle is parked or removed from the basket, the drive unit drives the clamping unit to release the positioning block.
[0006] Preferably, the drive unit includes a hydraulic cylinder, the telescopic end of which is connected to a linkage mechanism, and the other end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed with a mounting plate, which is connected to the rear floor of the garage via a connecting mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes an L-shaped plate, one side of which is connected to a mounting plate by bolts, and the other side of which is fixed to the rear floor of the garage by bolts.
[0008] Preferably, the clamping part includes a mounting base and two clamping blocks arranged symmetrically. The two clamping blocks are hinged to one end of the mounting base by a pin, and the mounting base is fixed to the housing of the hydraulic cylinder. The linkage mechanism is located inside the mounting base.
[0009] Preferably, the linkage mechanism includes two connecting rods, one end of which is hinged to the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder via a shaft, and the other end of which is hinged to one end of the clamping block via a pin.
[0010] Preferably, the side of the clamping block that contacts the positioning block is integrally formed with a protrusion, and the side wall of the clamping block away from the protrusion is integrally formed with a boss for mounting with the mounting base, and the boss is provided with a pin hole for mounting the pin rod.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the pin is threaded through the clamping block and connected to a collar, and the other end of the pin is integrally formed with a protrusion.

[0014] Preferably, the multiple hydraulic clamps operate synchronously via a PLC, and when clamping, the clamping parts of the multiple hydraulic clamps are all located on the positioning block.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model utilizes the cooperation of hydraulic clamps and positioning blocks. When one of the suspended baskets needs to store or retrieve a vehicle, the hydraulic clamps are energized by the PLC control system of the vertical circulation parking garage.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a vertical circulating suspended platform anti-sway device, including a hydraulic clamp 3 fixed to the ground at the rear end of the garage and multiple positioning blocks 4 fixed to one side of the suspended platform 5; the garage ground is the ground below the garage frame 1, wherein the garage frame 1 is a component of the vertical circulating three-dimensional parking garage, and adopts a steel structure frame to support the overall structure; the hydraulic clamp 3 includes a drive part 31 for installation with the ground at the rear end of the garage and a clamping part 32 installed at one end of the drive part 31, the clamping part 32 being connected to the drive part 31 through a linkage mechanism; the drive part 31 is energized when the suspended platform 5 moves to the garage ground, and drives the clamping part 32 to clamp the positioning blocks 4; when the vehicle on the suspended platform 5 is parked or removed, the drive part 31 drives the clamping part 32 to release the positioning blocks 4; When in use, when one of the suspended baskets 5 needs to store or retrieve a vehicle, the hydraulic clamp 3 controlled by the PLC of the vertical circulation parking garage is energized. The hydraulic clamp 3 clamps the positioning block 4, and after the positioning block 4 is clamped, the suspended basket 5 is effectively limited, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing swaying. The suspended basket 5 does not shake when the vehicle enters or exits, thanks to the clamping of the hydraulic clamp 3, avoiding impact on the trigger rod or sensing area of the limit switch, and preventing deformation caused by the center of gravity of the suspended basket 5 being unbalanced, thus improving the service life of the garage to a certain extent.
[0026] The drive unit 31 includes a hydraulic cylinder 311. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 311 is connected to a linkage mechanism. The other end of the hydraulic cylinder 311 is fixed with a mounting plate 312. The mounting plate 312 is connected to the rear floor of the garage through a connecting mechanism. When the hydraulic cylinder 311 is energized, the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 311 drives the linkage mechanism to move, thereby driving the clamping unit 32 to perform a clamping action.
[0027] The connecting mechanism includes an L-shaped plate 313. One side of the L-shaped plate 313 is connected to the mounting plate 312 by bolts, and the other side of the L-shaped plate 313 is fixed to the rear floor of the garage by bolts, which facilitates the connection of the L-shaped plate 313 to the rear floor of the garage. At the same time, the L-shaped plate 313 provides support for the drive unit 31, thereby improving the stability of the hydraulic cylinder 311.
[0028] The clamping part 32 includes a mounting base 322 and two clamping blocks 321 arranged symmetrically. The two clamping blocks 321 are hinged to one end of the mounting base 322 by a pin 323. The mounting base 322 is fixed on the housing of the hydraulic cylinder 311. The linkage mechanism is located inside the mounting base 322, which facilitates the use of the linkage mechanism to drive the clamping side to change angle around the pin 323 as the axis, so as to realize the clamping or releasing action of the clamping block 321.
[0029] The linkage mechanism includes two connecting rods 33. One end of the connecting rod 33 is hinged to the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 311 via a shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod 33 is hinged to one end of the clamping block 321 via a pin 331. When the hydraulic cylinder 311 is energized, the connecting rod 33 changes its angle around the shaft, that is, it adjusts the included angle between the two connecting rods 33. The change in the angle of the connecting rod 33 drives the clamping block 321 to rotate around the pin as the axis, so as to clamp the positioning block 4.
[0030] The side of the clamping block 321 that contacts the positioning block 4 is integrally formed with a protrusion 3211, which increases the friction between the clamping block 321 and the positioning block 4. The side wall of the clamping block 321 away from the protrusion 3211 is integrally formed with a boss 3212 for mounting to the mounting base 322. The boss 3212 has a pin hole 3213 for mounting the pin rod. The upper end of the mounting base 322 has a groove. The two ends of the pin rod 323 are passed through the pin hole 3213 and fixed to the upper end of the mounting base 322, so that the protrusion 3211 is located in the groove, thereby allowing the clamping block 321 to adjust its angle around the pin rod 323 for clamping action.
[0031] One end of the pin 323 passes through the clamping block and is threadedly connected to a collar 324. The other end of the pin 323 has an integrally formed protrusion. During installation, the collar 324 is first separated from the pin 323. Then, the pin 323 is passed through the mounting base 322 and the pin hole 3213, and the collar 324 is threaded onto the pin 323. The protrusion on the pin 323 blocks the pin 323, preventing the other end of the pin 323 from passing through the mounting base 322. The lack of connection between the pin hole 3213 and the pin 323 allows the clamping block 321 to be angled around the pin 323.
[0032] The positioning block 4 is a rectangular plate, one side of which is welded to the bottom plate of the hanging basket 5. The surface of the rectangular plate is provided with several anti-slip protrusions, which increase the friction between the positioning block 4 and the clamping block 321 and improve the clamping tightness between the clamping block 321 and the positioning block 4.
[0033] To reduce the instability of parking or retrieving vehicles between the suspended platform 5 and the rear floor of the garage, multiple hydraulic clamps 3 are provided. The hydraulic clamps 3 are installed on the bottom side of the garage opposite to the vehicle entrance and exit, and the multiple hydraulic clamps 3 are parallel to the vehicle entry and exit direction to clamp the positioning block 4 from different directions, increase the connection area between the suspended platform 5 and the garage floor, and improve the stability of the suspended platform 5.
[0034] Multiple hydraulic clamps 3 operate synchronously via a PLC. When clamping, the clamping parts 32 of all hydraulic clamps 3 are located on the positioning block 4. The PLC is a component in the control system of the vertical circulation parking garage. In actual use, it needs to work with the structure of the vertical circulation parking garage to realize the stopping or retrieving of vehicles. The vertical circulation parking garage senses the position of the basket 5 through sensors, encoders, limit switches, etc., and combines the PLC control system and intelligent interactive terminal to realize the automation and safety of vehicle storage and retrieval. The garage integrates rotary encoders in the drive system (motor, reducer) and transmission system (chain, sprocket) to monitor the motor speed and chain displacement in real time. By calculating the number of encoder pulses, the system can accurately calculate the current position of the basket 5. A proximity sensor or photoelectric sensor is installed on the basket 5. When the basket 5 approaches the bottom, the proximity sensor or photoelectric sensor detects the preset mark point, triggers the position confirmation signal, and the hydraulic clamps 3 are energized, triggering the clamping action on the positioning block 4. When one of the suspended platforms 5 needs to store or retrieve a vehicle, the platform 5 moves to its lowest position, i.e., the storage / retrieval position. The PLC controls the two hydraulic clamps 3 to be energized simultaneously to clamp the positioning block 4. After the positioning block 4 is clamped, the platform 5 is effectively limited, thereby achieving the purpose of anti-swaying. When other suspended platforms 5 need to store or retrieve a vehicle, the PLC controls the hydraulic clamps 3 to be de-energized and open. When other suspended platforms 5 move to the storage / retrieval position, the PLC controls the hydraulic clamps 3 to be energized again to repeat the clamping and anti-swaying action.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
