The invention belongs to the technical field of three-dimensional parking equipment, and particularly relates to a mechanical high-rise vertical circulation three-dimensional parking system. The mechanical high-rise vertical circulation three-dimensional parking system comprises an electric control system, a steel structure framework, a driving device, a floating tensioning device, a chain transmission guide device, a group of following car carrying plates, an external heat insulation wall body and a top cover, wherein the electric control system is connected with the driving device; the driving device comprises a platform, a double-shaft output motor assembly, two speed reducers, two rigid shaft couplers, two driving shafts, two driving gears, two transmission gears, two transmission short shafts and two support seats; fixedly connected transmission chain wheels are arranged on the transmission gears; and the floating tensioning device comprises a tensioning steel framework, two sets of bidirectional slide blocks, two slide side support seats, two horizontal chain wheel short shafts, a following middle steel frame, two tensioning chain wheels and a weight balancing assembly. The mechanical high-rise vertical circulation three-dimensional parking system has the advantages that the number of cars stored in one step is great, and can reach 40 or more than 40; the integral structure layout is compact; the transmission power is great; the operation is stable; and the noise is low.
