Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle storage and retrieval technology, and in particular to an underground shared bicycle storage and retrieval station. Background Technology

[0002] Shared bicycles have provided convenience for people's independent travel; however, their widespread use in urban transportation has also exacerbated the problem of disorderly parking. Traditional ground parking methods face the following problems: First, space resources are scarce, with an excessive number of bicycles crowding sidewalks or parking spaces for motor vehicles, causing sidewalk congestion and inconveniencing pedestrians; second, they lack environmental adaptability, with open-air parking causing a rise in vehicle corrosion rates, significantly reducing bicycle durability and increasing operating costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model addresses the problem of disorderly parking of shared bicycles in cities by proposing an underground shared bicycle storage and retrieval station. The station includes a storage and retrieval building, a parking space circulation mechanism, and an elevator. Only the storage and retrieval building occupies a small portion of the above-ground land resources, while the main parking space circulation mechanism and elevator are hidden underground. This makes full use of underground space resources and avoids excessive bicycles crowding sidewalks or motor vehicle parking spaces. At the same time, storing shared bicycles underground prevents them from rusting due to rain, snow, dew, etc.

[0004] Therefore, the technical solution of this utility model is an underground shared bicycle storage and retrieval station, which includes an above-ground part and an underground part. The above-ground part includes a storage and retrieval room, and the underground part includes a parking space circulation mechanism and an elevator. The parking space circulation mechanism includes a parking space frame, with an active transmission wheel and a driven transmission wheel at each end of the parking space frame. A transmission chain is provided between the active transmission wheel and the driven transmission wheel. Multiple circulating bicycle trays are provided on the transmission chain. The lower end of the circulating bicycle tray is provided with a tray support leg, which is fixedly connected to the transmission chain. A parking space slot is provided in the middle of the upper end of the circulating bicycle tray. Multiple sensors are provided above the parking space slot. The elevator has a loading frame inside, and the loading frame has a lifting bicycle tray and a push-pull mechanical arm.

[0005] Furthermore, the front of the storage room is equipped with an electric door and a control panel, which includes a display screen, a parking button, and a retrieval button.

[0006] Furthermore, a recycling trailer is provided on one side of the storage room, and the recycling trailer has multiple parking spaces.

[0007] Furthermore, there are two transmission chains, each consisting of a chain shaft and cascaded plates.

[0008] Furthermore, adjacent chain shafts are connected by cascaded plates, and there are multiple cascaded plates, with adjacent cascaded plates being staggered.

[0009] Furthermore, a transmission motor is provided on one side of the active transmission wheel, and the transmission motor is connected to the active transmission wheel through a reducer and a coupling.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting platform includes a lifting frame, a load frame, and a counterweight assembly. The load frame is slidably connected to the lifting frame via a load guide rail. The counterweight assembly is slidably connected to the lifting frame via a counterweight guide rail and roller guide shoes. The top of the lifting frame is equipped with two sets of driving sprockets and driven sprockets. The driving sprockets are double-layered sprockets, and a lifting motor is located between the driving sprockets.

[0011] Furthermore, the cargo frame is equipped with a lifting platform, and cargo sliders and traction columns are provided on both sides of the lifting platform.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting platform is equipped with a lifting pallet and a push-pull robotic arm.

[0013] Furthermore, the push-pull robotic arm includes a turntable, a first arm, a second arm, and a push-pull gripper. The first arm and the turntable are equipped with drive motors, the second arm and the first arm are equipped with drive motors, and the push-pull gripper and the second arm are equipped with rotary motors.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that only the above-ground part occupies a small portion of the above-ground land resources, while the main body is the underground part, which is hidden underground, making full use of underground space resources, avoiding excessive bicycles crowding sidewalks or motor vehicle parking spaces, and storing shared bicycles underground to avoid vehicle corrosion caused by rain, snow, dew, etc.

[0015] Users can view the usage status of the parking station on the display screen, check the number of available bicycles and empty parking spaces. When they need to park, they press the parking button, the electric gate opens automatically, and the user places the shared bicycle into the lifting platform of the elevator. The electric gate closes automatically, and the lifting platform descends to be level with the circulating platform. At this point, the extension platform connects the lifting platform to one of the circulating platforms on the parking space circulation mechanism. The push-pull gripper of the push-pull robotic arm grabs the shared bicycle and pushes it from the lifting platform into the circulating platform, thus automatically completing the parking of the shared bicycle into the parking space circulation mechanism. In this system, when a bike needs to be retrieved, pressing the retrieval button automatically removes the shared bike from the parking space circulation mechanism and transports it to the storage room. The electric door opens, and the user retrieves the bike from the lifting platform of the elevator in the storage room. The electric door then closes automatically, enabling rapid storage and retrieval of shared bikes. The system is simple in structure and highly efficient in operation. The parking space circulation mechanism uses a first-in, last-out automated storage and retrieval method. Bikes stored earlier are kept as backup vehicles, while bikes stored later maximize utilization, thereby reducing the overall number of bikes deployed and lowering operating costs.

This underground shared bicycle storage and retrieval station of this utility model occupies only a small portion of the above-ground land resources, with the main body being the underground portion. The underground portion is hidden underground, making full use of underground space resources and preventing excessive bicycles from crowding sidewalks or parking spaces. Simultaneously, storing shared bicycles underground avoids corrosion caused by rain, snow, and dew.

[0030] The parking station 1 can be located near subway entrances or bus stops for convenient travel. The front of the parking station 1 features an electric door 11 and an operating console 12. The operating console 12 has a display screen 121, a parking button 122, and a retrieval button 123. The display screen 121 shows the usage status of the parking station or advertising information; specifically, it displays the number of available vehicles, the number of vacant parking spaces, weather information, or other advertising information. Users interact with the parking station 1 by using the parking button 122 and the retrieval button 123 when parking or retrieving their vehicles. If the user presses the parking button 122, the electric door 11 opens, and the user places the shared bicycle into the elevator 3 of the storage room 1. The electric door 11 closes, and the elevator 3 automatically stores the shared bicycle into the parking space circulation mechanism 2. If the user presses the retrieval button 123, the elevator 3 automatically retrieves the shared bicycle from the parking space circulation mechanism 2 and transports it to the storage room 1. The electric door 11 opens, and the user retrieves the shared bicycle from the elevator 3 of the storage room 1. The electric door 11 then closes automatically.

[0031] The parking space circulation mechanism 2 includes a parking space frame 21, which is fixed on a foundation platform in the underground space.
