Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vertical warehouse design technology, and in particular relates to a selection system for the entry area of ​​a lifting and lateral moving vertical warehouse. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of urbanization, lift-and-slide automated parking systems (lift-and-slide vertical parking systems) have become widely used in modern cities as a highly efficient space-utilizing parking solution. Traditional lift-and-slide vertical parking systems typically manage and schedule multiple parking areas (or lanes, garage areas) centrally. However, with the increase in the number of users, during peak hours (such as rush hour), a large number of users simultaneously entering and exiting vehicles leads to the following prominent problems: **Concentrated Congestion:** All vehicles entering and exiting the garage at the same time causes queues at the garage entrances and exits, resulting in excessively long waiting times and a poor user experience. **System Efficiency Bottlenecks:** The lift and slide equipment in the garage operates at full or even overload during peak hours, leading to complex equipment scheduling, response delays, increased risk of malfunctions, and longer vehicle retrieval times. **Uneven Resource Allocation:** Due to a lack of proactive scheduling, vehicles are parked randomly, resulting in vehicle accumulation in some areas while other areas remain relatively empty, failing to maximize the overall operational efficiency of the parking garage. Current technologies address peak-hour avoidance by constructing more independently operated parking areas, but this reduces the number of available parking spaces. While some multi-level parking garages have introduced reservation functions, these are typically limited to reserving parking or retrieval time slots and do not provide dynamic, intelligent guidance for different operating areas within the garage. Users cannot choose the optimal parking area based on their future retrieval plans, and the system cannot proactively divert user vehicles to different independently operated areas to avoid future peak retrieval times. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, this utility model provides a selection system for the storage area of ​​a vertical warehouse with staggered peak scheduling and lifting and lateral movement.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A system for selecting the entry area of ​​a vertical lift-and-slide parking garage, wherein the entry area comprises multiple independently operating parking areas for entry and exit, including: A vehicle pick-up time reservation device is used to set a pick-up time; A computing and processing device, connected to the vehicle pick-up time reservation device, is used to calculate areas where vehicle pick-up can be done during off-peak hours based on the reserved time; and... A display device is connected to the computing and processing device, and the display device displays the areas where the computing and processing device calculates off-peak parking to guide users to park in the recommended areas.

[0005] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned selection system for the vertical and horizontal movement of the parking area, the vehicle retrieval time reservation device supports voice input, wherein the voice signal is converted and then input into the computing and processing device.

[0006] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned selection system for the vertical lifting and lateral moving storage area, the vehicle retrieval time reservation device also includes a license plate recognition module, which is used to identify the vehicle and default to using the historical vehicle retrieval time setting.

[0007] Furthermore, in the aforementioned selection system for the vertical and horizontal movement of the warehouse entry area, the display device has a function for displaying the vehicle retrieval waiting time.

[0008] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned selection system for the lifting and traversing vertical warehouse entry area, the selection system is also connected to the on-site monitoring system of the lifting and traversing vertical warehouse, and the display device of the selection system simultaneously displays the preferred empty parking spaces within the recommended area.

[0009] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned selection system for the vertical lifting and lateral moving storage area, the selection system also includes a communication module, which is connected to a mobile device terminal APP, supporting the reservation of vehicle pick-up time and viewing of recommended areas through the APP.

[0010] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned system for selecting the parking area in a vertical, horizontal, and vertical parking garage, the mobile terminal device (APP) can display preferred parking areas and / or parking spaces.

[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned system for selecting the entry area of ​​the vertical lifting and lateral moving warehouse, the mobile terminal device APP can display available parking spaces.

[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned system for selecting the vertical and horizontal warehouse entry area, the mobile terminal device APP has the function of displaying the vehicle retrieval waiting time.

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned system for selecting the vertical and horizontal movement storage area, the mobile terminal device APP has the function of displaying the optimal vehicle retrieval time.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the system for selecting the entry area of ​​the vertical parking garage can proactively guide users planning to pick up their vehicles within a certain time period to different independent operating areas based on their vehicle retrieval time reservations. This disperses retrieval demand over time, preventing all users from concentrating in the same area at similar times, greatly alleviating peak-hour congestion, improving the overall throughput and equipment operating efficiency of the garage, eliminating the need for a larger number of independently operated entry and exit parking areas to avoid peak periods, achieving staggered scheduling, and significantly improving efficiency. When constructing a new parking garage, the number of independently operated entry and exit parking areas can be effectively reduced in advance based on data statistics from this system, thereby reducing the need for clearance space and increasing parking spaces. Users can obtain the system's recommended optimal parking area by reserving their vehicle retrieval time. When retrieving their vehicles, because the retrieval demand in this area has been dispersed, the actual waiting time for users will be significantly shortened, improving user satisfaction, optimizing user experience, and reducing waiting time. The system can achieve a more balanced time distribution for vehicle storage and retrieval operations across various independent operating areas, avoiding uneven workloads and thus improving the overall utilization rate of parking space resources and lifting / traversing equipment. The system supports multiple interaction methods, including license plate recognition automatically retaining historical settings, voice input, and mobile app reservations, lowering the operational threshold for users and adapting to different user habits. This makes the system more user-friendly and widely applicable, providing multiple convenient interaction methods. Through display devices or a mobile app, the system clearly shows users recommended areas, preferred available parking spaces, and estimated retrieval waiting times, making the entire parking and retrieval process predictable and perceptible to users. This enhances user trust in the service, increases information transparency, and strengthens user control. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-2This embodiment provides a system for selecting the entry area of ​​a vertical lift-and-slide parking garage. The entry area comprises multiple independently operated parking areas 1, including a vehicle retrieval time reservation device 10, a calculation and processing device 20, and a display device 30. The vehicle retrieval time reservation device 10 is used to set the retrieval time. The calculation and processing device 20 is connected to the vehicle retrieval time reservation device 10 and is used to calculate areas where vehicles can be retrieved during off-peak hours based on the reservation time. The display device 30 is connected to the calculation and processing device 20 and displays the areas calculated by the calculation and processing device 20 to guide users to park in the recommended areas. By adopting the above technical solution, the system for selecting the entry area of ​​a vertical lift-and-slide parking garage can proactively guide users who plan to retrieve their vehicles within a certain time period to different independently operated areas based on their vehicle retrieval time reservations. This disperses retrieval demand over time, avoiding all users concentrating in the same area at similar times, greatly alleviating congestion during peak hours, improving the overall throughput efficiency and equipment operating efficiency of the parking garage, achieving off-peak scheduling, and significantly improving efficiency. Users can schedule a pick-up time and receive the system's recommended optimal parking area 1. Upon pick-up, because demand in this area has been smoothed out, the user's actual waiting time will be significantly reduced, improving user satisfaction, optimizing the user experience, and minimizing waiting time.

[0019] Specifically, for ease of explanation, the lift-and-slide parking garage consists of three parking areas 1, A, B, and C, each capable of independent entry and exit operations. Of course, the lift-and-slide parking garage can also consist of more than three parking areas 1 capable of independent entry and exit operations; the number of parking areas 1 capable of independent entry and exit operations is not limited here. The car retrieval time reservation device 10, located at the garage entrance, is an interactive terminal with a touchscreen. Users input or select their planned retrieval time, such as "today afternoon 18:30-19:30". The computing and processing device 20 is a server connected to all car retrieval time reservation devices 10 at the entrance via a network. After receiving the user's reservation time "18:30-19:30", it counts all users who have reserved this time slot and evenly distributes all users who have reserved this time slot into the three parking areas 1, A, B, and C, which are capable of independent entry and exit operations. The display device 30 is a large LED indicator screen located at the garage entrance. It receives instructions from the computing device 20 and dynamically displays text and arrows: "Recommended for you: Area A, estimated short waiting time for vehicle retrieval." Through this system, users are clearly guided to the corresponding parking area, thereby achieving a more even distribution of the number of vehicles available for retrieval across the three areas within the same time period and optimizing the overall traffic flow.

[0020] In another embodiment, the vehicle pickup time reservation device 10 supports voice input, wherein the voice signal is converted and then input to the computing processing device 20. Based on the above embodiment, functional enhancement is performed on the vehicle pickup time reservation device 10. A "voice input" button is provided on the touch screen of the vehicle pickup time reservation device 10. After the user clicks it, the user directly says "pick up the car at seven p.m.". The built-in voice recognition module of the device converts this voice signal into digital text information "7:00 p.m.", and sends the text information to the computing processing device 20. The computing processing device 20 performs calculation and area recommendation accordingly. This method is especially suitable for users who are inconvenient to perform manual operations while driving, which improves the convenience and safety of operation.

[0021] The vehicle pickup time reservation device 10 further includes a license plate recognition module, which is configured to recognize the vehicle identity and default to use the historical vehicle pickup time setting. Specifically, the license plate recognition module integrated in the vehicle pickup time reservation device 10 is a camera. At the garage entrance, the camera first captures and recognizes the license plate number of the arriving vehicle as "Hu A·12345". The computing processing device 20 queries the database and finds that the license plate has set the vehicle pickup time to "8:00 a.m. on workdays" many times in historical records. Then, the system displays to the user through the display device 30: "Your license plate is recognized, do you want to use your usual vehicle pickup time: 8:00 a.m.? Confirm / Modify". After the user confirms or in the case that the user does not perform any operation, the system directly calculates the recommended area and guides parking. This saves the step of repeated input by the user, and realizes personalized and intelligent services.

[0022] Further, the display device 30 has a function of displaying vehicle pickup waiting time. While displaying the recommended area (such as "Area A"), the display device 30 also displays a required waiting time within the reserved vehicle pickup time period: "<5 minutes". This waiting time is calculated in real time by the computing processing device 20 according to the vehicle queue to be picked up at the reserved vehicle pickup time in Area A and the operating speed of the device. This information allows the user to have a quantitative perception of the "speed" of the recommended area, which enhances the persuasion of guidance and user confidence.

[0023] Furthermore, the selection system is also connected to the in-situ monitoring system of the lifting and traversing vertical parking garage. The display device 30 of the selection system simultaneously displays the preferred vacant parking spaces 2 within the recommended area. The in-situ monitoring system uses detection switches, ultrasonic sensors, or cameras on each parking space 2 to sense in real time which parking space 2 is vacant. When the computing and processing device 20 calculates that the recommended area is "Area B", it requests information on vacant parking spaces 2 within Area B from the in-situ monitoring system, for example, "B-01, B-05, B-12" are vacant. Subsequently, the display device 30 not only displays "Recommended Area: Area B", but also highlights "Preferred vacant parking spaces 2: B-01, B-05, B-12" in the form of a diagram or list. This provides users with one-step guidance from area recommendation to specific parking space 2, further saving users time searching for parking space 2 in the garage.

[0024] In another embodiment, the selection system further includes a communication module connected to a mobile device terminal APP, supporting reservation of car pick-up time and viewing of recommended parking areas via the APP. Users do not need to operate at the entrance; they can make reservations in advance via a dedicated APP on their mobile phones. Users set their pick-up time on the APP and submit it. This reservation request is sent to the system's communication module via the internet and forwarded to the computing processing device 20. After calculation, the recommendation result is sent back to the user's APP via the communication module, and the APP interface displays "Your recommended parking area 1 is: Zone C". This enables remote reservation and query, avoiding queuing at the entrance. It is worth noting that after a user makes a car pick-up time reservation via the APP, if they cannot park in the Zone C parking space 2 displayed on the APP interface in time, they need to check the recommended parking area 1 displayed on the APP interface again before entering the garage to avoid the situation where the parking area 1 changes due to the time difference between the reserved pick-up time and the actual parking time, resulting in failure to check the wrong parking area in time.

[0025] The mobile terminal device (APP) can display preferred parking areas and / or parking spaces 2. When a user drives close to the garage, they open the APP, and the APP's main interface map will clearly highlight the system's recommended "preferred parking area," such as "Area C." This visual guidance method is very intuitive and helps users quickly establish a driving route.

[0026] The mobile terminal device APP can display parking spaces. After displaying "Preferred Area: Zone C", the APP further requests data from the garage's parking space monitoring system and marks all currently available parking spaces 2 within Zone C with small green dots on the area map. Users can see "5 parking spaces remain in Zone C" and understand their approximate distribution, achieving precise navigation to available parking space 2.

[0027] The mobile terminal device APP has a function to display the vehicle retrieval waiting time. The APP obtains real-time information from the computing processing device 20 through the communication module and displays "Estimated waiting time: 3 minutes" on the interface. This function allows users to accurately grasp the progress on their way back to the garage or while waiting, and to manage their time accordingly.

[0028] The mobile terminal device APP has a function to display the optimal car pick-up time. When the user's reserved pick-up time is "18:30-19:30", the APP will obtain real-time information from the computing processing device 20 through the communication module and display on the interface: "Optimal pick-up time: 18:37". This function allows users to reasonably plan their time when returning to the garage to retrieve their car.

[0029] It should be noted that the aforementioned mobile terminal devices can be mobile smart devices such as mobile phones, smartwatches, tablets, and laptops.
