Description

[0001] The invention relates to a parking system according to claim 1 comprising a frame structure comprising three horizontal planes, wherein plane 2 is arranged vertically below plane 1 and plane 3 is arranged vertically below plane 2. Furthermore, the parking system comprises n drive-on lifting platforms, with n ∈ ℕ and n ≥ 2, where the n The drive-on lifting platforms are vertically movable. Level 1 and level 2 each have n-1 drive-over sliding platforms, whereby the n-1The drive-on sliding platforms are horizontally movable, and each sliding platform on level 2 can be vertically moved by a lifting platform. The increasing demand for parking space, particularly in cities but also increasingly in densely populated rural areas (e.g., single-family home developments), necessitates ever more efficient use of available building space. Consequently, in recent years, more and more systems for so-called double parking garages have entered the market.

[0002] German patent DE 202 09 988 U1 discloses a parking system for passenger cars in which two parking platforms are arranged one above the other. The lower parking platform is lowered into a pit in the ground to allow access to the upper parking platform.

[0003] Double parking systems of this kind are already known for parking garages. German patent DE 195 38 070 A1 discloses a parking garage in which additional parking spaces are created by a lifting device according to a predefined scheme. Ideally, this allows two cars to be parked "one above the other".

[0004] However, none of the aforementioned prior art documents disclose more than two parking levels. To utilize building space for parking as efficiently as possible, it would be desirable to have more than two parking levels available.

[0005] DE 42 17 200 A1 discloses a double parking garage with levels arranged one above the other. A lifting platform is installed within an open trough and forms a first parking level. A frame structure creates another parking area above the lifting platform. Both parking levels can be accessed independently by cars. The system also offers a version in which the upper parking level is additionally equipped with a drive-on retractable roof. This can be used as a third parking space. However, this embodiment has the disadvantage that the vehicle parked at ground level must be removed before another vehicle can be moved. This means that a parking space cannot be accessed independently of whether the other parking spaces are occupied by cars or not. EP3739150A1 discloses a parking system according to the next state of the art.Other known parking systems are also disclosed in US2017 / 234023A1, CN109653572A, WO2013 / 030781A1 and CN2711317Y.

[0006] This system is therefore unsuitable for public spaces. A key requirement for the smooth parking of vehicles is precisely that all parking spaces can be accessed independently of one another. This means that a vehicle should not have to be moved out of one parking space to enter or exit another.

[0007] Based on the prior art, the object of the invention is therefore to provide a parking system in which as many cars as possible can be parked on the smallest possible footprint, whereby each parking space can be accessed regardless of whether the other parking spaces are occupied by cars or not.

[0008] The invention solves this problem with a parking system comprising a frame structure comprising three horizontal levels, wherein level 2 is arranged vertically below level 1 and level 3 is arranged vertically below level 2, further comprising drivable platforms wherein the parking system n features drive-on lifting platforms, with n ∈ ℕ and n ≥ 2, where the n The drive-on lifting platforms are vertically movable; level 1 and level 2 each n-1 have drivable sliding platforms, wherein the n-1 The n drivable sliding platforms are horizontally displaceable and each sliding platform of level 2 is vertically displaceable by a lifting platform, wherein level 1 forms the entry level and each of the n drivable lifting platforms has a frame with two rails, wherein one of the n-1 sliding platforms of level 2 can be inserted horizontally into the two rails. Detailed description

[0009] The parking system according to the invention has a frame construction that forms three horizontal planes. Plane 2 is arranged vertically below plane 1, and plane 3 is arranged vertically below plane 2. The distance between plane 2 and plane 1, as well as the distance between plane 3 and plane 2, is such that a car can be parked in each of the two planes without protruding into the plane above.

[0010] Level 1 forms the entrance level of the parking system. The entrance level is the level from which the parking system can be accessed from the surrounding terrain, road network, or building complex. The entrance level can, for example, be at ground level or located on a level of a parking garage.

[0011] According to the invention, the frame structure is made of a material that can withstand the loads caused by driving on and transporting cars. Preferably, the frame structure is made of a material comprising steel.

[0012] The frame structure comprises at least two segments. In one embodiment of the invention, the frame structure can also comprise more than two segments. In this case, the available building area can be used particularly advantageously to create as many parking spaces as possible.

[0013] Each segment is essentially cuboid in shape. The base of a segment forms the third level of the parking system. Each lifting column forms one edge of a segment, extending from the base across level 2 at least to level 1 of the parking system. The first end face of a segment forms the entry side of the parking system. On this side, the lifting columns extend precisely to the height of level 1 and are connected by a crossbeam. On the opposite end face, the lifting columns extend beyond level 1 to provide sufficient space for the mechanical drive of the lifting platform. In one embodiment, these two lifting columns are additionally connected by a crossbeam extending along the second end face to stiffen the segment.

[0014] Between level 3 and level 2, additional cross braces can run on the first and / or second end face between the lifting columns to achieve additional stabilization of the parking system.

[0015] At the entry height of level 1, there is a rail on both the first and second end faces, extending along the length of the end faces. The rails are designed so that a sliding platform can be inserted into them from the longitudinal side of the segment. The frame structure of the parking system thus has rails on level 1 through which the n-1 Sliding platforms on level 1 can be moved horizontally across the entire level 1. After being inserted, the sliding platform is perfectly horizontal.

[0016] In one embodiment, each segment has an entry plate on its first end face at the entry height, i.e., on level 1. The entry plate preferably extends from one lifting column to a second lifting column and runs completely along the first end face. The entry plate facilitates driving a car onto a lifting or sliding platform.

[0017] The parking system according to the invention comprises at least two segments. The second segment is connected to one of the longitudinal sides of the first segment. The longitudinal sides are those sides of the segment that run perpendicular to the end faces. If the parking system has more than two segments, each additional segment is connected to the longitudinal side of another segment of the parking system. At the longitudinal side where two segments are joined, the lifting columns are designed as double T-beams, with each side of a double T-beam serving as a lifting column for one segment. This design ensures that the segments are rigidly connected to one another.

[0018] The segments are also anchored in the ground or an excavation pit in such a way that they have sufficient stability when driven on and off. Experts know how to achieve this.

[0019] According to the invention, the segments are joined together such that level 1, level 2, and level 3 of each segment are horizontal to each other. This is necessary so that the sliding platforms can be moved smoothly between the individual segments.

[0020] In particular, the rails in which the sliding platforms of level 1 are located are aligned horizontally with each other in all segments. This allows a sliding platform to be moved smoothly from one segment to another.

[0021] Does the parking system indicate n The parking system also features segments. n Hub platforms, with each segment having exactly one hub platform, with n ∈ ℕ and n≥ 2. The lifting platform is designed such that it has a driving surface which is essentially rectangular and can be driven on by a car or single-track motor vehicle. In one embodiment of the invention, the driving surface is flat and its surface meets the structural engineering requirements for slip resistance in outdoor areas.

[0022] In one embodiment, the end face of the lifting platform is between 2.30 m and 3.00 m long, preferably between 2.30 m and 2.70 m long, and particularly preferably 2.5 m long. In another embodiment of the invention, the longitudinal side of the lifting platform is between 5.00 m and 5.50 m long, preferably between 5.00 m and 5.40 m long, and particularly preferably 5.20 m long.

[0023] The lifting platform further comprises a drive that enables the vertical displacement of the lifting platform from level 3 to level 2 and to level 1. According to the invention, the drive can be provided by a hydraulic cylinder or an electric motor. In a preferred embodiment, this output is a hydraulic cylinder, with the synchronization controlled by a chain guide on each lifting column. The hydraulic cylinder can, for example, be mounted on the second end face opposite the entry side of each segment. In this embodiment, each of the n Each of the drive-on lifting platforms can be moved vertically by a hydraulic cylinder.

[0024] In one embodiment, each lifting platform has at least one transmitter or receiver of a light barrier, and a corresponding light barrier receiver is mounted at three suitable locations in the vicinity of the parking system. These receivers are positioned such that the light barrier is triggered upon reaching level 1, level 2, and level 3, respectively, and sends a signal and controls the parking system. The receivers can, for example, be mounted on the wall of the pit in which the parking system is located. The position of a lifting platform can thus be determined and monitored by these light barriers. Preferably, the light barrier is designed to be person-safe. This means that the light barrier monitors its own function and therefore cannot generate false signals. Suitable light barriers are known to those skilled in the art.

[0025] In a further embodiment of the present invention, each lifting platform has at least one reed switch. A corresponding counterpart of the reed switch is mounted at three suitable locations in the vicinity of the parking system. The counterparts in the vicinity of the parking system are positioned such that the reed switch is triggered upon reaching level 1, level 2, and level 3, respectively, and sends a signal and controls the parking system. This allows the position of the lifting platform to be monitored. The counterparts of the reed switch can, for example, be mounted on the wall of the pit in which the parking system is located. The reed switch preferably has two magnets and two receivers that must trigger a signal in a predetermined sequence. The reed switch is particularly preferably designed to be person-safe.This means the reed switch internally monitors its function and thus reliably delivers correct signals. Suitable reed switches are known to experts.

[0026] Furthermore, each lifting platform has four bolts designed to fix the respective platform to the frame of the parking system against vertical displacement. In particular, the position of the platform is secured when a user drives a vehicle onto it. Should a chain break at that moment, the user's safety is ensured by the bolts. In one embodiment, the frame has two projections at the position where the lifting platform is to be fixed, into which the bolts can engage, thus securing the platform to the frame.

[0027] The lifting platform can therefore be moved to level 1 to, for example, pick up a car and then lowered to level 3 to park the car there.

[0028] The lifting platform extends a frame that, when the lifting platform is on level 3 of the parking system, extends onto level 2 of the parking system. The frame is attached to the lifting platform via four columns. These four columns are preferably located at the corners of the lifting platform and thus do not obstruct the platform's usable surface. At level 2, the frame is formed by a rail on each of the first and second end faces of the segment, extending along the end faces. The rails are designed such that a sliding platform can be inserted into them from the longitudinal side of the segment. Once inserted, the sliding platform is perfectly horizontal. Along the longitudinal side, the rails are connected to each other by a crossbeam, thus providing the necessary stability for the frame. Each of the nThe drive-on lifting platforms thus have a frame with two rails, one of which n-1 The sliding platforms of level 2 can be inserted horizontally into the two rails.

[0029] If two lifting platforms are adjacent to each other, a threading device is attached to both rails of a lifting platform's frame. The threading device is located at the outer edges of the rails and allows a sliding platform to be smoothly threaded from one lifting platform to another. The threading device is preferably designed as a short section of rail that extends beyond the frame of the first lifting platform along its end face towards an adjacent second lifting platform, thus enabling a smooth transition of a sliding platform from the frame of the first lifting platform to the frame of the second. It is sufficient if the frame of one of two adjacent lifting platforms has a threading device on both rails.

[0030] Additionally, at least one rail of the frame of each lifting platform has a transmitter or receiver of a light barrier, and at each of the n-1 The sliding platforms on level 2 have a corresponding counterpart to the light barrier. This allows the position of the lifting platform's rails to be compared with the position of the sliding platform. If these are not horizontal on level 2 before a sliding platform is moved into a lifting platform, a warning message can be issued and the sliding platform will not be moved. The light barrier can detect misalignments that can occur over time, for example, due to the chain drive of the lifting platforms, and thus prevent damage to either the lifting or sliding platform.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the invention, each rail of the frame of a lifting platform has a transmitter or a receiver of a light barrier, and each of the n-1 The sliding platforms of level 2 have corresponding counterparts to the light barrier. In this case, the positioning of a lifting platform relative to a sliding platform can be checked by two light barriers.

[0032] The parking system continues to indicate each n-1 Drive-over sliding platforms on level 1 and level 2. n-1Drive-on sliding platforms are horizontally movable and can be driven by a suitable means. In one embodiment of the invention, each sliding platform is electrically driven by a geared motor. Each geared motor preferably has a frequency converter, which controls the speed at which the sliding platforms are moved. This enables precise positioning. The sliding platforms have the same dimensions as the lifting platform and also have a driving surface that can be driven on by a car. Features described for the driving surface of the lifting platform also apply to the sliding platforms.

[0033] In one embodiment of the invention, each sliding platform of level 2 has two bolts that can fix the respective sliding platform to the frame of a lifting platform against horizontal displacement. One bolt fixes the sliding platform to one rail of the frame of the lifting platform, and the other bolt fixes the sliding platform to the other rail of the frame of the lifting platform. In one embodiment, the frame of the lifting platform has two projections at the position where the sliding platform is to be fixed, into which a bolt can engage. This fixes the sliding platform to the lifting platform.

[0034] If a sliding platform on level 2 is fixed to a lifting platform, it can be raised from level 2 to level 1 by vertically moving the lifting platform. Each sliding platform on level 2 can therefore be vertically moved by a lifting platform.

[0035] Preferably, the sliding platforms and the lifting platforms are made of a material comprising steel.

[0036] The parking system also features a control unit that can control the movements of the lifting platforms and the sliding platforms.

[0037] According to the invention, the distance between two superimposed platforms is at least large enough to allow a standard passenger car to fit on a lifting or sliding platform without colliding with the sliding platform above it. In one embodiment of the invention, the distance between a lifting platform and a sliding platform above it, or between a sliding platform and a sliding platform above it, is between 1.50 m and 2.00 m, preferably between 1.60 m and 2.00 m, and particularly preferably 1.8 m.

[0038] The functionality of the parking system will first be described in more detail using the example of a parking system with two segments.

[0039] If the parking system according to the invention consists of two segments, each segment has a lifting platform, and a sliding platform is located in both level 1 and level 2. The sliding platform of level 2 is inserted either into the frame of the lifting platform of the first segment or into the frame of the lifting platform of the second segment. The position of the sliding platform in level 2 can be changed as needed by moving the sliding platform horizontally. For this to work, the frames, and in particular the rails of the frames of the lifting platform of the first segment and the lifting platform of the second segment, must be aligned horizontally with each other. To ensure smooth operation and prevent damage to the lifting platform or the sliding platform if the rails of the lifting platform and the sliding platform are not level, the positioning of each lifting platform relative to the sliding platform to be inserted must be monitored.

[0040] This is achieved firstly via the parking system's control unit, which regulates the movement of the lifting platforms and specifies a particular positioning of both the lifting and sliding platforms. Additionally, the positioning of the frame of a lifting platform relative to the sliding platform on level 2 is checked by at least one light barrier, preferably by two. If this position is not horizontal, a warning message can be issued, and the sliding platform will not be moved.

[0041] Once the sliding platform is inserted into the rails of a lifting platform, the sliding platform is fixed against horizontal displacements in the rails of the lifting platform using two bolts.

[0042] If the sliding platform of level 2 is fixed to a lifting platform, the sliding platform can be raised from level 2 to level 1 by vertically moving the lifting platform. A car or single-track vehicle can then be driven onto or off this sliding platform. For this to happen, the sliding platform of level 1 is moved to level 1 of the other segment, creating a space in level 1 into which the sliding platform of level 2 can be raised. Each sliding platform of level 2 can therefore be moved vertically by a lifting platform.

[0043] In level 1, the rails of segments 1 and 2 are abutted as described, such that the sliding platform of level 1 can be moved horizontally from segment 1 to segment 2. The position of the sliding platform is fixed by two bolts, as previously described.

[0044] The inventive design of the parking system ensures that empty spaces are always available into which sliding platforms can be inserted. This allows each sliding or lifting platform to be moved into the entry level (level 1) at any time. The inventive parking system is therefore designed to allow each sliding and lifting platform to be accessed independently of the other sliding and / or lifting platforms. Advantageously, it is therefore possible to access any parking area formed by the lifting and sliding platforms without having to consider whether other lifting and / or sliding platforms are already occupied as parking spaces. In other words, each lifting and sliding platform can be accessed regardless of whether the other lifting and / or sliding platforms are occupied by a car or a single-track motor vehicle.

[0045] According to the invention, any number of segments can be joined together. In a preferred embodiment, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 segments are joined together.

[0046] All segments exhibit the characteristics already described. The functionality of the parking system does not change with an increasing number of segments.

[0047] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to 7 figures and an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 represents a parking system with two segments; Figure 2 represents a segment of a parking system; Figure 3 represents a segment of a parking system without sliding platforms and without a driving surface for the lifting platform; Figure 4 represents a detail of the frame of the lifting platform; Figure 5 represents a bolt of a sliding platform; Figure 6 represents a parking system with three segments; Figure 7 The parking system of Figure 6 shown in the top view.

[0048] Figure 1 Figure 1000 represents a parking system 1000 according to the invention, comprising two segments 10 and 20. The first segment 10 is formed by the lifting columns 11 and 24. At the first end face, the two lifting columns 11 and 24 are connected along the end face by a transverse stiffener 15. The first end face forms the entry side of the parking system. A lifting platform 30 is located in plane 370, a sliding platform 40 in plane 280, and a sliding platform 50 in plane 190. At the second end face, the lifting columns 11 and 24 project beyond plane 190 and are connected to each other by a cross member 13. The second end face thus provides sufficient space for a hydraulic cylinder 12, which drives the lifting platform 30. The sliding platform 50 is inserted into the rails of the first segment in plane 190. The sliding platform 40 of level 2 80 is inserted into the rails of the frame of the lifting platform 30.

[0049] The second segment 20, like the first segment, is also constructed using lifting columns 21 and 24. The first segment 10 and the second segment 20 are rigidly connected to each other at the lifting columns 24, as the lifting columns 24 are designed as I-beams. A lifting platform 60 is located at level 3 70. Its frame 61, with rails 62 and 63 for mounting a sliding platform, is visible. At the second end face, the lifting columns again extend beyond level 1 90 and are connected to each other via a crossbeam 23. The second end face also houses a hydraulic cylinder 22 for driving the lifting platform 60. Rails for mounting the sliding platform 50 are attached to the end faces of the frame structure at level 1 90. Rail 42 is visible at the second end face of the second segment.

[0050] The gaps in the second segment on level 1 (90°) and level 2 (80°) allow all lifting and sliding platforms to be moved to level 1, enabling them to be accessed regardless of whether the other lifting and / or sliding platforms are occupied by a car or a single-track vehicle. For example, if a car is to be driven onto lifting platform 30, sliding platform 40 is inserted into the frame of lifting platform 60, and sliding platform 50 is moved horizontally into the second segment. Lifting platform 30 can then be moved vertically to level 1, allowing a car to drive onto it.

[0051] The parking system 1000 is controlled by a control unit 14 and supplied with energy by a power supply unit 16.

[0052] Figure 2This represents a segment 10 of a parking system 1000. It can be seen that the segment is formed by four lifting columns 11 at the corners. On the entry level 1, an entry plate 41 is located at the first end face, which is intended to facilitate access to the lifting and sliding platforms. The lifting columns 11 are additionally connected at the first and second end faces by transverse stiffeners, which increase the stability of the segment. The driving surfaces 51 of the sliding platforms 40, 50 and the lifting platform 30 are visible. Furthermore, the cross member 64 of the frame of the lifting platform 30 is visible. The sliding platform 40 is inserted into the rails of the frame 61 of the lifting platform 30.

[0053] Figure 3Figure 10 represents a segment 10 of a parking system 1000 without sliding platforms and without the driving surface of the lifting platform. The frame of the lifting platform 30 is particularly clearly visible in this figure. The frame rests on the four columns 65, which are attached to the lifting platform 30. The frame is formed at the ends by the rails 62, 63 and at the sides by the crossbeams 64.

[0054] Figure 4Figure 1 shows a detail of the lifting platform frame. A threading device 67 is attached to both rails 62, 63 of the lifting platform frame. The threading device 67 is located at the outer edges of the rails 62 and enables the smooth threading of a sliding platform from one lifting platform to another. The threading device 67 is preferably designed as a short rail section that projects beyond the lifting platform frame along its end face, thus enabling a smooth transition of a sliding platform from the frame of a first lifting platform to the frame of a second lifting platform. For adjacent segments, it is sufficient if one lifting platform frame has a threading device 67 on both rails 62, 63.

[0055] Figure 5represents a bolt 140 of a sliding platform 40. The bolt 140 is mounted below the sliding platform 40 and secures it to the frame of the lifting platform 30. The bolt 140 is in the Figure 5 The sliding platform 40 is not extended and is therefore movable. On the rail of the frame of the lifting platform 30, in the position where the sliding platform 40 is to be fixed, there are two projections 141 into which the bolt 140 can engage to fix the sliding platform 40 to the lifting platform 30.

[0056] Figure 6This diagram depicts a parking system 1000 with three segments 10, 20, and 100, viewed from the entrance side. The three levels 70, 80, and 90 are visible. In the first segment, 10, there is a sliding platform 120 on level 1, a sliding platform 40 on level 2, and a lifting platform 30 on level 3. In the second segment, 20, there is a sliding platform 130 on level 1, a sliding platform 50 on level 2, and a lifting platform 60 on level 3. In the third segment, 100, levels 1 and 2 serve as space for moving the sliding platforms 12, 130, 40, and 50. The lifting platform 110 is located on level 3.

[0057] Figure 7 The parking system represents 1000 of the Figure 6 with the three segments 10, 20, 100 under supervision. Example 1

[0058] The Parking System 1000 was constructed with three segments. Each segment was 2.70 m long at the end and 6.00 m long along its length. From level 3 to level 1, the height of each segment was 4.30 m. The second end of each segment projected 2.131 m above level 1. The distance between successive platforms was 1.80 m. The driving surface of the lifting and sliding platforms was 5.20 m long and 2.50 m wide. Reference sign
