Description

[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Lifting mating system OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The invention, as the title of this specification indicates, is a retractable parking system. This is an innovation that offers previously unknown advantages within current technologies. TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0004] The present invention falls within the scope of industrial techniques, various equipment, and transportation, in the area of ​​lifting, hoisting, towing, or pushing, not provided elsewhere.

[0005] The present invention arises as a response to the problem of low vehicles that scrape the ground when entering or exiting garages on inclined ramps.

[0006] This problem has been a source of concern for many drivers, as the inconvenience and risk of property damage associated with this issue have been a source of frustration and stress when using garages with inclined ramps.

[0007] Consequently, this invention presents a lifting parking system whose objective is to provide an effective solution to allow vehicles to align on inclined ramps, facilitating their entry and exit from the garage in a more fluid manner and without the risk of rubbing against the vehicle when leveled with the flat ground.

[0008] Currently, the existence of any lifting parking system is unknown, which presents structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those described in this descriptive report, according to roivirtaica

[0009] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] Es otaste de te presente invención te creación do un sistema do Aparcamiento Levadizo, que trae uno innovación outabta dotare do su campo de aplicación en el estado de la técnica actual, estarding tas detalles caracterizantes que la hacen posible conveniently recopilados en tas clamaciones ñúteos que acompañan la presente description.

[0011] The present invention relates to a lifting coupling system, which comprises a mobile platform that integrates at least one speed reducer, used to force drivers to reduce their speed when passing over it and stop the car, allowing the activation, from a remote control, of the lifting system responsible for lifting the vehicle, thus facilitating its exit or entry into the garage.

[0012] The platform increases the safety of both drivers and pedestrians, since it avoids invading the sidewalks, the mechanism offers a great view and allows you to exit the parking lot without sudden acceleration and to exit calmly without endangering any pedestrians who might pass by on the exit ramp.

[0013] This innovation solves the difficulty experienced by low vehicles when entering or leaving garages with inclined ramps.

[0014] This system is beneficial because it allows vehicles to navigate inclined ramps without problems, thus mitigating the risk of crashes.

[0015] The system has a mobile platform that is placed on an inclined exit or access ramp to the garage.

[0016] This platform offers two lifting methods: one raises the rear part of the vehicle to align with the flat ground without presenting a noticeable slope, while the other levels itself under the vehicle and then rises in a straight line until reaching a horizontal plane aligned with the flat ground for access or exit from the garage.

[0017] Conveniently, the mobile platform adapts to different vehicle sizes and is made of highly resistant material such as steel or aluminum, capable of supporting the weight of the vehicle and resisting the forces generated during its movement.

[0018] The speed reducer is located near the change in slope, and the control works independently or in conjunction with the control used to operate the automatic garage door.

[0019] The lifting system is responsible for raising the mobile platform from its ramp, using mechanisms such as an endless snail that uses a worm gear and gear, or a hydraulic piston that uses the pressure of a fluid to generate movement.

[0020] The elevation system is also equipped with tilt sensors that can measure tilt, control movement and / or detect critical limits of tilt positions.

[0021] To use the lift-in parking system, when entering or exiting the garage, the driver stops the vehicle on the moving platform. The lift system is then activated, which raises the platform, along with the vehicle, to a position aligned with the level ground. This process allows for worry-free entry and exit, ensuring the integrity of the vehicle and the comfort of the driver.

[0022] EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

[0023] To complete the description being made and in order to help better understand the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive material is accompanied, as an integral part of the same, by several figures which, for illustrative and not imitative purposes, have been represented below.

[0024] Figure 1 illustrates in perspective a vehicle leaving a garage and accessing the parking lift system.

[0025] Figure 2 illustrates in perspective a vehicle located on the mobile platform, making use of the lifting system, aligning itself with the public road and subsequently leaving the garage.

[0026] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION.

[0027] The present invention describes an innovative lifting parking system, which is distinguished by incorporating a mobile platform (1) that essentially integrates at least one speed reducer (2) and is arranged between two different levels. The mobile platform (1) is movable between an inclined position and a horizontal position, by means of a lifting system (4) controlled by a control (3). This characteristic is essential, since it forces drivers to reduce their speed when passing over said speed reducer (2), thus facilitating the stopping of the automobile. This action allows the activation, by means of a control (3), of the lifting system (4), whose main function is to rotate the mobile platform (1) to lift the vehicle and enable both its entry and exit from the garage in an efficient and safe manner.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the mobile platform (1) is strategically positioned on an inclined ramp, either for exiting or accessing the garage. This design allows the lowest part of the vehicle on the ramp to be raised until it is perfectly aligned with the flat ground, eliminating any significant unevenness that could present a problem.

[0029] In another preferred embodiment, the mobile platform (1 j) has been designed to accommodate different sizes of vehicles. For this purpose, highly durable materials such as steel or aluminum have been chosen, thus ensuring the capacity to support the weight of the vehicles and resist the forces exerted during the movement process.

[0030] Typically, the speed limiter (2), strategically located at the end near the highest slope change, along with the control (3), which can be an independent device or one used for opening or closing the automatic garage door, are key elements in the operation of the system.

[0031] Preferably, the lifting system (4) plays a crucial role in elevating the mobile platform (i) from the ramp. This mechanism can operate through an endless worm gear that uses a worm gear and gear, or through a hydraulic piston that uses the pressure of a fluid to generate the upward movement.

[0032] In another preferred embodiment, the mobile platform (1) has the capacity to level itself below the vehicle and subsequently rise in a straight line until reaching a horizontal plane that aligns with the flat ground, thus facilitating access to or exit from the garage without complications.

[0033] Typically, the lift system (4) incorporates advanced tilt sensors. These sensors are capable of accurately measuring tilt, controlling movement and detecting critical limits of tilt positions, thus ensuring safe and efficient operation of the lift-up parking system.

[0034] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to make its explanation more extensive so that any expert in the matter understands its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, within its essence, it may be put into practice in other forms of realization that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, since in these cases it will also achieve the protection sought, provided that its fundamental principle is not affected, changed or modified.
