[0006] In some embodiments, in any chain plate assembly, there are multiple second pin holes, and the second pin assembly may be selectively disposed in at least one of the second pin holes.
[0007] In some embodiments, in any chain plate assembly, there are two second pin holes, and each second pin hole is equipped with a second pin assembly.
[0008] In some embodiments, a first channel is provided in the first pin for introducing lubricating oil between the first pin and the roller; and / or, a second channel is provided in the second pin for introducing lubricating oil between the second pin and the bushing.
[0009] In some embodiments, the first pin assembly further includes a first metal sleeve and a second metal sleeve, wherein the first metal sleeve, the second metal sleeve, and the roller are arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the first pin.
[0010] In some embodiments, the vertical circulation chain further includes a triangular plate, which is connected to the chain plate assembly via a first pin assembly. The triangular plate is used to connect to the suspended platform of the vertical circulation parking garage.
[0011] In some embodiments, the chain plate group includes an inner chain plate group and an outer chain plate group, which are arranged alternately in sequence.

[0028] First, combine Figure 1 The structure of the vertical circulation automated parking system is described.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a vertical circulation parking garage according to some embodiments of this application. The vertical circulation parking garage includes a vertical circulation chain 100 and multiple hanging baskets 200. The vertical circulation chain 100 is arranged vertically, and the multiple hanging baskets 200 are respectively connected to the vertical circulation chain. The hanging baskets 200 are used to carry and store vehicles. The vertical circulation chain 100 is used to circulate in a counterclockwise or clockwise direction, and the entire operation process is similar to that of a Ferris wheel.
[0030] Combination Figures 2 to 6 As shown, Figure 2 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of a vertical circulating chain according to some embodiments of this application; Figure 3 This is a second schematic diagram of the structure of a vertical circulating chain according to some embodiments of this application; Figure 4 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the AA direction; Figure 5 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the BB direction; Figure 6 for Figure 3 A cross-sectional view along the CC direction. The vertical circulating chain 100 includes: multiple chain plate assemblies 10, a first pin assembly 20, and a second pin assembly 30.
[0031] Multiple chain plate assemblies 10 are arranged sequentially. Each chain plate assembly 10 has a first pin hole H1 at both ends, and a second pin hole H2 is provided between the two first pin holes H1 of each chain plate assembly 10. The first pin assembly 20 includes a first pin 21 and a roller 22 sleeved on the first pin 21. The first pin 21 is disposed in the first pin hole H1 and is used to connect two adjacent chain plate assemblies 10. The second pin assembly 30 includes a second pin 31 and a bushing 32 sleeved on the second pin 31. The second pin 31 is disposed in the second pin hole H2.
[0032] The chain plate assembly 10 is a component used to fix the first pin assembly 20 and the second pin assembly 30. Each chain plate assembly 10 includes two chain plates arranged opposite each other. The distance between the two chain plates is adapted to the thickness of the corresponding sprocket so that the sprocket can extend between the two chain plates. The first pin hole H1 on the chain plate assembly 10 is used to assemble the first pin assembly 20, and the second pin hole H2 is used to assemble the second pin assembly 30.
[0033] The first pin assembly 20 is a component used to connect two adjacent chain plate assemblies 10. The two adjacent chain plate assemblies 10 can rotate around the first pin assembly 20 to adapt to the curvature of the sprocket, thereby ensuring that the vertical circulating chain 100 remains fully engaged with the sprocket. Each chain plate assembly 10 has two corresponding first pin assemblies 20. During the engagement of the vertical circulating chain 100 with the sprocket, the first pin 21 can enter the root of the tooth, allowing the tooth tip to embed between the two first pins 21. Furthermore, with the cooperation of the roller 22, the friction between the vertical circulating chain 100 and the sprocket is reduced.
[0034] Without the second pin assembly 30, the distance between the two first pin assemblies 20 corresponds to the pitch of the vertical circulating chain 100. By adding the second pin assembly 30 between the two first pin assemblies 20, the pitch of the vertical circulating chain 100 can be reduced. With a reduced pitch and a smaller pitch sprocket, the transmission ratio can be increased, and the torque requirement of the sprocket can be reduced, resulting in smoother overall transmission and lower noise.
[0035] The second pin assembly 30 is similar to the first pin assembly 20. The second pin 31 can enter the tooth root, so that the tooth tip can be embedded between two adjacent second pins 31, or between adjacent first pins 21 and second pins 31. With the cooperation of the bushing 32, the friction between the vertical circulating chain 100 and the sprocket can be reduced.
[0036] It should be noted that the sprocket adapted to the vertical circulating chain 100 equipped with the second pin assembly 30 is a non-standard sprocket.
[0037] By adding a second pin assembly 30 between the two first pin assemblies 20 of the chain plate assembly 10, the pitch is reduced. With a smaller pitch, the corresponding sprocket pitch is also smaller, which can increase the transmission ratio and reduce the torque requirement of the sprocket, making the overall operation smoother and the noise lower.
[0038] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, Figure 7 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of the chain plate assembly according to some embodiments of this application; Figure 8 This is a second schematic diagram of the structure of a chain plate assembly according to some embodiments of this application. According to some embodiments of this application, in any chain plate assembly 10, there are multiple second pin holes H2, and the second pin assembly 30 can be selectively disposed in at least one of the second pin holes H2.
[0039] The second pin assembly 30 may be selectively disposed in at least one of the second pin holes H2. It is understood that the second pin assembly 30 may be appropriately increased or decreased according to different pitch requirements.
[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, three second pin holes H2 are evenly arranged on the chain plate assembly 10. When the required pitch is small, all three second pin holes H2 can be fitted with the second pin assembly 30. When the required pitch is large, the second pin assembly 30 can be fitted only in the middle second pin hole H2.
[0041] In other embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, three second pin holes H2 are arranged on the chain plate assembly 10. The distance between the first pin hole H1 on the left and the first second pin hole H2 on the left is greater than the distance between the first second pin hole H2 and the second second pin hole H2. The third second pin hole H2 is symmetrical to the first second pin hole H2 about the second second pin hole H2. When the required pitch is small, the second pin assembly 30 can be installed in the first second pin hole H2 and the third second pin hole H2. When the required pitch is large, the second pin assembly 30 can be installed only in the second second pin hole H2.
[0042] The number and specific arrangement of the second pin holes H2 can be flexibly set according to design requirements, as long as they can be adapted to the corresponding sprocket.
[0043] By setting multiple second pin holes H2 on each chain plate group 10, various pitch requirements can be met, thus improving adaptability.
[0044] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, in any chain plate group 10, there are two second pin holes H2, and each second pin hole H2 is equipped with a second pin assembly 30.
[0045] Combination Figures 4 to 6 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, a first channel 211 is provided in the first pin 21 for introducing lubricating oil between the first pin 21 and the roller 22; and / or, a second channel 311 is provided in the second pin 31 for introducing lubricating oil between the second pin 31 and the bushing 32.
[0046] In some embodiments, a first grease nipple 212 is provided at the end of the first pin 21. The first grease nipple 212 is connected to the first channel 211. Lubricating oil is input into the first channel 211 through the first grease nipple 212 and finally enters between the roller 22 and the first pin 21.
[0047] In some other embodiments, a second grease nipple 312 is provided at the end of the second pin 31. The second grease nipple 312 is connected to the second channel 311. Lubricating oil is input into the second channel 311 through the second grease nipple 312 and finally enters the space between the bushing 32 and the second pin 31.
[0048] By setting up the first channel 211 and the second channel 311 for lubricating oil input, wear on various components is reduced and the overall service life is improved.
[0049] Combination Figures 4 to 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the first pin assembly 20 further includes a first metal sleeve 23 and a second metal sleeve 24, wherein the first metal sleeve 23, the second metal sleeve 24 and the roller 22 are arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the first pin 21.
[0050] The first metal sleeve 23 can be a steel sleeve, and the second metal sleeve 24 can be a copper sleeve.
[0051] By setting the first metal sleeve 23 and the second metal sleeve 24, the wear of the first pin 21 and the roller 22 can be reduced, and the overall service life can be further improved.
[0052] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the vertical circulating chain 100 further includes a triangular plate 40, which is connected to the chain plate assembly 10 via a first pin assembly 20. The triangular plate 40 is used to connect to the suspended platform 200 of the vertical circulating parking garage.
[0053] In some embodiments, the triangular plate 40 can be fixed to the chain plate assembly 10 by means of the nut 25 and the first pin 21.
[0054] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the chain plate group 10 includes an inner chain plate group 11 and an outer chain plate group 12, with the inner chain plate group 11 and the outer chain plate group 12 arranged alternately in sequence.
[0055] Compared to the inner chain plate group 11, the distance between the two chain plates of the outer chain plate group 12 is larger. The end of the inner chain plate group 11 is located between the two chain plates of the outer chain plate group 12, thereby connecting the inner chain plate group 11 and the outer chain plate group 12 through the first pin assembly 20.
[0056] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the chain plate group 10 further includes a transition chain plate group 13, which is connected to the adjacent inner chain plate group 11 and outer chain plate group 12 respectively.
[0057] The transition chain plate assembly 13 features a curved asymmetrical design for closed-loop connection scenarios where the number of chain links is odd.
[0058] Combination Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 This is a partial structural diagram of a vertical circulation parking garage according to some embodiments of this application. A second aspect of this application also provides a vertical circulation parking garage, including a first sprocket 300, a second sprocket 400, and a vertical circulation chain 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The first sprocket 300 and the second sprocket 400 are arranged vertically and mesh with the vertical circulation chain 100.
[0059] Since the vertical circulation parking garage uses the vertical circulation chain 100 shown in the above embodiments, and the specific structure of the vertical circulation chain 100 is as described in the above embodiments, and since the vertical circulation parking garage uses all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0060] The first sprocket 300 can be the driving sprocket, and the corresponding second sprocket 400 is the driven sprocket.
[0061] Combination Figure 9 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the vertical circulation parking garage also includes an inner guide rail 500 and an outer guide rail 600, with the vertical circulation chain 100 located between the inner guide rail 500 and the outer guide rail 600.
[0062] By setting the inner guide rail 500 and the outer guide rail 600, the vertical circulating chain 100 can be supported and guided, so that the vertical circulating chain 100 can always maintain the preset shape and operate stably.
[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
