Description

Automatic parking system of automobile
Technical Field
The invention relates to a fully automatic parking system for private cars, which can park the private cars quickly and economically with a minimum of space. In particular, the present system relates to a device and a method for parking private vehicles on a platform, which can be quickly transferred so that these vehicles can be parked with little space and can be automatically transferred again to the user from the parking place when needed. Combined with the modular design, the device can be quickly and easily installed, removed and reinstalled, and can be used for replacing systems such as indoor parking, parking lots, multi-storey parking lots and the like at low cost.
Background
Private vehicles are parked on the road, in parking lots, in garages, on multi-level parking lots, or in controlled automated parking systems. In a typical multistorey car park, only about 40% of the floor and 30% of the enclosed space are available for parking. The average width of the vehicles is 1.7 meters, the height is 1.6 meters, the length is 4.4 meters, the volume is about 12 cubic meters, and the regular multi-storey parking lot and parking system comprises 80 cubic meters and more vehicles. Compared with the traditional technology, the modern vehicle equipped with the small engine is not rectangular any more. Starting from the side rear-view mirrors, their front is mainly conical or oval, so that rectangular parking spaces are no longer the best choice. A great deal of valuable parking space in conventional parks at entrances and exits, administrative places, door openings, stairways, elevators, doorways, pillars and columns, pedestrian ceilings, emergency passageways, fire protection systems, etc. is thus wasted. Parking requires time and skilled skill and is not an enjoyable experience.
In other systems, to save space, lift systems are used to lift vehicles so that they can be parked closer by personnel (attendant parking, thus increasing parking costs and increasing parking time. in existing parking systems, accurate parking of a vehicle in a parking position is required, the driver automatically receives instructions regarding the lifting and positioning of the vehicle on the platforms, the platforms are used for parking, have a rectangular shape, and can accommodate the minimum length and width of the largest vehicle and the clearance for accurate parking, thus requiring more space to park, these platforms must be distinguished or replaced before parking, require complicated mechanical and control techniques, and thus consume a great deal of time and space, for other systems that suspend vehicles from vertical chains as is common in Asia, the use of enclosed space is inefficient, the time required to access the vehicle is long, known systems are used in stationary configurations, it cannot be stopped quickly and efficiently and is therefore only suitable for long-term permanent stops. Moreover, the construction time is too long, high investment is required, and long-term maintenance is required, so that the investment efficiency is reduced.
Disclosure of Invention
The object of the invention is to provide a simple technical system which makes it possible to stop a private car quickly and economically with a minimum of space.
In order for a vehicle to be able to park mechanically accurately, it must first be positioned correctly. For this reason, it cannot be done by the customer. Parking must be simple. The system must accomplish this task even if the parking is incorrect. The first sub-task is to center the vehicle automatically by mechanical means, and to position it uniformly and accurately for mechanical and electronic processing.
The vehicle should be automatically moved and stored by a simple machine. The second sub-task is to use the method to accurately and quickly grasp the vehicle, move to a specified position, and pull out again. For this purpose, the components must be able to grip the various vehicles in the appropriate positions, resting on the platform and on the slope, and being pulled out again to the exit for the user.
The third sub-task is to park the vehicle as tightly as possible, the waste amount of space is minimum, and the structure is simple. The basic type and various widths, heights, and lengths of modern vehicles should be best utilized. Compared with the prior art, the device and the method, the electronic device and the IT support position are utilized, waste is avoided as much as possible, and the space utilization amount is increased.
The fourth sub-task is to simplify vehicle delivery by using a simple and safe design to deliver the vehicle quickly and safely.
A fifth task is to design the whole system to be simply lifted, disassembled, moved and re-installed without using a crane, a supporting tool and heavy equipment. Thus, the component should be reusable.
The general object is to make use of an automatic parking system for private vehicles for parking private cars quickly and economically, comprising a plurality of bars (2) on which disc-shaped parking platforms (8) provided with parking ramps (22) are arranged, which are stacked on top of each other, for parking the vehicles, wherein a lifting shaft (62) stands or hangs in the middle of the parking platform (8), with an exit ramp (9), the lifting shaft (62) having a lifting device (61) provided with a fixed or a back-and-forth movable lifting platform (31), on which there are: positioning lifting and pushing tractors (40) on which the wheels of said vehicle on the parking ramps or on the parking platforms are hooked, so as to position, lift and move back and forth to the other ramps and platforms, the lifting devices (61) and the positioning lifting and pushing tractors (40) being controlled by a central computing unit, so as to save parking space rapidly and optimally on the respective free parking platforms (8) or on the exit ramps (9).

Detailed Description
The system is characterized in that the private car can be parked quickly and economically and delivered again when necessary, and the whole device can be detached and reinstalled in another location. The vehicle can be automatically grasped to a required position, so that the vehicle can be automatically and accurately delivered, and can horizontally and vertically rotate on a vertical shaft without the aid of a parking platform and a conveyor belt.
In order to stop the vehicle as tightly as possible, the vehicle should automatically drive in and drive out. For this reason, modern shapes and different sizes of vehicles should be considered. To reduce costs, the device should be managed by a small number of people, maintenance costs should be low, and reliability should be high. To accommodate gaps between temporary sites and buildings, the module design should be simplified and reinstalled quickly.
The parking device shown in fig. 1 and 1a comprises a plurality of posts, rails or columns 2, on which a parking platform 8 is fixed. In its centre, there are a number of platforms, suspending the lifting shaft, as shown in fig. 6A and 6B, which has a fixed or movable lifting platform 31, which can be moved back and forth, and a mechanical pushing system (pulling device) 40, which moves on its horizontal rails (pulling rails) 42, which grips the wheels of the vehicle, lifts and pulls onto the lifting platform 31. For a mobile lifting platform, the movement is first made in the center (position 2). Thereby being vertically elevated to a designated platform. When the lift reaches the corresponding platform and the platform or the entire lift shaft is rotated to a designated angle, or reaches a computer designated platform, the lift platform will hold the platform (position 1) and thereby propel the vehicle to the parking platform. With the method and the selected parking arrangement shown in fig. 8, space can be saved compared to the conventional art. When the vehicle is driven out again, it is pushed in the reverse order onto the exit ramp 9 (traction position 3). Due to the compact module design, the module can be quickly disassembled and assembled. Thus, no other facilities than electricity and a solid ground are needed.
The automatic parking system is provided with a fixed parking platform 8, arranged on a disc, with a plurality of platforms and a central lifting device, as shown in fig. 6, with a lifting platform 31, push rods and pulling devices (traction devices), as shown in fig. 4, and with parking and exit ramps on which the vehicle is automatically parked. The system is also characterized in that the vehicle is automatically mechanically gripped, electronically measured and transferred to the parking platform 8 by means of a computer without the use of accessories such as a parking stand, so that a higher parking density can be achieved with the parking method and the chosen set-up (figure 8). The design is also characterized by having only a few moving parts mounted on the lift shaft 62, the traction device 40 and the parking ramp 22, which can be quickly assembled into modules with bolts, either as suspension or support devices, so that the entire system is more flexible and reusable.
Referring to fig. 2, a parking ramp and ramp system is shown. The ramp system uses two rails 21 to bring the vehicle to the middle. These tracks are provided with rollers to prevent the wheels from hitting them, without any mechanical drive, and the rails are mechanically connected to each other by means of swivel arms 27, 37, push rods 28 and ramp rails 29, which are in symmetrical positions. These rails are reinforced with springs 23, pressing against the middle of the parking ramp, so that they pull away from each other in front when the vehicle is driven in. At the same time, they are symmetrical to each other at the rear, pushing the vehicle in the middle. The platform is also characterized by its rollers 25 arranged longitudinally, on which the wheels 16 are free to move laterally. The guide rails may also be mounted in parallel and fixed so that the lateral deviation of the vehicle is within the allowable range.
Referring to fig. 3, the design of the lift shaft and lift platform is shown. The lifting platform 31 is horizontally movable back and forth and also laterally rotatable along a vertical axis and has a suitable shape and size, it can be lower than the front of the vehicle and can be integral with the parking platform 8, as can the parking ramp 22 and the exit ramp 9. The lifting platform is further characterized in that the traction means 40 is a mechanical gripper and pushing system mounted on the rails and movable so as to pull the vehicles on the lifting platform or push them onto other platforms. The lifting platform 31 may be permanently connected to the lifting device. The lifting device and the shaft may rotate on a longitudinal axis, as shown in fig. 4 a. It can be rotated by means of an electromechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic drive (see rotary gear 69 of the lifting device of fig. 9 c) or an electronic control device, using rollers between the columns of the lifting shaft (see guide rails 65 of fig. 6b and carrying columns 68 of fig. 6 b) and the parking platform on the side. This allows the gap between the lifting platform and the parking platform to be centred and reduced.
Figures 4a-4c show a towing attachment. The vehicle is gripped, positioned and moved on wheels, and the traction device 40, which is fixed on rails in the middle of the lifting platform 31, does not require the use of a gantry or a conveyor belt. It runs under a vehicle on a parking slope, presses the wheel with two extendable fork rails 44, thereby positioning the vehicle correctly, and raises the vehicle to a certain height with four forks 45, each having two roller fingers 46 under the wheel, which hold the vehicle and push or pull it in the desired direction.
On each wheel, the vehicle is gripped, lifted and pushed by roller forks 45, as shown in fig. 5a-b, and each compresses two roller fingers 46 on its roller 57 by a horizontal roller. The roller fork 45 is characterized in that it is fixed to the fork rail 44, two rollers meaning one or two rollers 57 running on a platform, which carries the third roller, i.e. the lift roller 58, and runs under the wheel or vehicle. The lift rollers may run on separate shafts between the rollers or may be concentric with the rollers (see lift roller 58 of fig. 5a, and roller finger 46 of fig. 4a 1). The lift roller 58 comprises a roller that rides on the roller and is cylindrical in shape with a flat or concave plate thereon for enlarging the wheel bearing surface.
The parking platform, the vehicle arrangement and the parking method will be described with reference to fig. 8 and 9. The automatic parking system is equipped with a parking setting system and a corresponding parking platform 8 and is suitable for the conical or elliptical front of modern vehicles. Through corresponding size and specific setting, the vehicle can park side by side compactly, can pinpoint and automatic operation, and need not to adopt rack etc. and parking platform has specific basic shape and setting, and the appearance is discoid, and the angle is 15 to 30 degrees, and available computer sets up best parking stall for the vehicle, and wide or narrow vehicle also can obtain suitable parking stall. Thus, the rectangular parking area covers the front and side surfaces and requires only a very small space for arranging parking and transfer. Vertical and horizontal rails are also not required in management, so that the available space can be reduced.
Referring to fig. 1, the method is represented by a device which stops the vehicle completely automatically, is quick and space-saving and can be activated whenever necessary. The vehicle is positioned on the parking slope using the guide rails and the rollers, and is caught on the wheels, pulled to the starting position, and then automatically and accurately moved without using a conveyance means such as a rack or a conveyor belt. Specifically, a small roller is pushed under the wheel, so that the vehicle is placed thereon and moved. The device is called a traction device below, and is arranged on a central lifting machine on a platform, and a vehicle can move horizontally. On the lifting platform they can be rotated on a vertical axis while being quickly translated vertically. The entire system is bolted into modules so that it can be easily disassembled and reinstalled at other locations without the use of additional equipment. The following invention has the above-described advantages over the conventional art.
As shown in fig. 2, driving the wheels on the longitudinal rollers 25 of the parking slope in the middle of the parking slope and driving it with the guide rail 21 allows the vehicle to be automatically positioned and accurately positioned on the parking slope. The rollers on the guide rails prevent vehicle overstep. The two rails are mechanically connected to each other at the front and back by two pivoting arms 27, 28 and a positioning rail 29, whereby the central portion is compressed by the central tension spring 23. Since the rear arms are moved away from each other by the other tension spring 23, the guide rail is moved from the rear to the stop state of the open position. If the guide rails are moved away from each other by the front wheels during the driving of the vehicle, the closing force on the rear arm is increased by the center spring 23 and the guide rails are also closed at the rear. In this way, the vehicle can only move along the center at the rear. If the vehicle leaves the parking ramp, the guide rails are retracted to the home position, the front is closed, and the rear is opened. In this way, the next vehicle can be driven in. The arrangement does not require any mechanical drive and is maintenance free.
The vehicle is properly positioned by guiding the driver until the electromechanical stop is reached and a stop signal is output. The vehicle is mechanically gripped, electronically measured and the appropriate parking space is determined by the computer. Otherwise, the driver (sometimes a car washer) is instructed to turn the steering wheel to neutral and brake, and place the transmission in the 1 or P position, alight and close the door. After electronic entry, any attempt to access the vehicle is prohibited through the security gate. Thus, the vehicle can be parked and a parking ticket can be issued to the driver. To avoid delays, multiple parking ramps as shown in FIG. 2 may be provided in one or more of the vacant areas.
Fixed rails or mechanically driven rails may also be used to position the vehicle. For fixed tracks, the vehicle is within certain limits of lateral deflection. These rails are suitable for the widest vehicles. The correct positioning is achieved by the arms (fork rails) 44 of the towing installation, which grip the wheels simultaneously from the inside, as shown in fig. 4a and 4b, so that the vehicle is placed to one side and centered. Fig. 4a1 shows the pivot arm 37 and the traction rail. The traction means performs a horizontal displacement.
For skid-less or conveyor belt management, all vehicles must be held in a uniform position and adapted to various models. It utilizes the apparatus shown in figure 4 a. The traction device 40 positions the vehicle, grips it on the wheels, lifts it and moves it. The towing attachment is secured to the lift platform and includes a hydraulically movable towing rail 42 with a rotating parallel fork rail 44 secured to both sides thereof. Each provided with two forks 45, each with two finger elements (fig. 5a-b) or roller fingers 51 provided with rollers. Each roller finger includes one or two rollers 57 and a lift roller 58. The roller fingers of the forks are interconnected by actuators, such as pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders 48, which are free to run together on the fork track, but are fixed in the starting position by springs, or alternatively a front roller finger.
The fork rail is connected to the traction rail by means of two rods 41 and a slider 43, which is mounted on the traction rail by means of hydraulic or pneumatic actuators. The traction rail can be passed over the lifting platform 31 and moved in the corresponding direction by two telescopic cylinders or electromechanical drives as shown in fig. 4 a. The fork rails are compressed by the traction rails on the wheels, as a result of which the vehicle moves exactly centrally and stably. The two roller fingers of each fork move together and the wheel is thereby lifted on the lift roller 58. When the fingers are closed, they are fixed together with the fork rail and are thus laterally transferred to the vehicle. In this way, the vehicle reaches a uniform starting position, where electronic measurements are taken, and the computer can determine the optimal parking position.
Next, the vehicle is driven onto the roller fingers and onto the lifting platform. This corresponds to the towing position 1 in fig. 4 a. Unless the lifting platform 31 is mobile, it will be transferred to the middle of the lifting device 61 and then moved vertically onto the designated table. This corresponds to the traction position 2. When the lifting device is transferred to the calculated parking platform, the traction device releases the vehicle again. This corresponds to traction position 1. The roller fingers move away from each other and the fork track contracts. Thereafter, the traction device is returned to the lifting platform, ready for the next vehicle. To release the vehicle on the exit platform 9, the lifting platform and the towing means are moved in the opposite direction, which corresponds to the towing position 3, which facilitates parking in the direction of operation.
Fig. 5, 4b and 4c show gripping and lifting by means of roller fingers. The tension and impact force are transferred from the traction device 40 to the wheels and the vehicle is lifted by the roller fingers 51. It comprises one or two rollers 57 carrying a lifting roller 58. The rollers roll on the corresponding platforms. The lifting rollers 58 are used to lift and carry the wheels. The lift roller is a separate roller, or a plurality of rollers may be concentrically connected on the same shaft and have a cylindrical shape, thereby forming a roller 58, as shown in fig. 5 a. The contact surface of the wheel may in turn be increased by a small amount. The roll shafts are provided with flanges 53 on both sides. The inner flange runs within the fork track 44 and drives the cylinder 48 for retracting the roller fingers. In the open position, the roller fingers are in the activated position by springs. In the closed position, the fingers are mechanically fixed to the rail, thereby transmitting the compressive and tensile forces of the draft gear to the vehicle. The foremost roller can also be fixed, so that additional fixing can be omitted.
Fig. 3 and 6 show the transfer and rotation due to lifting and its lifting platform. Lift platform 31 comprises a plate member secured to parking platform 8. It is on a roller so that it can move horizontally along the length, relative to other platforms, and can be attached thereto. Or may be permanently fixed to the lifting device (within the lifting cabinet). It is shaped to be centrally connected to the connection platform by a conical or rounded front and the rollers run on the platform without collision. The lifting platform is mounted on a conventional lifting device 61. The vertical guide 65 is formed by upper and lower rails 67. These vertical rails are fixed to the parking platform 8, as shown in fig. 6a, or to vertical lifting columns which rotate along a vertical axis when lifted, as shown in fig. 6 b. They form the lifting shaft 62. The lifting shaft is rotated and supported at the sides of the platform by rollers 64, as shown in fig. 6b, so that it is freely accessible without interfering with the guide rails and the supports.
The towing means is connected to the lifting platform by means of a drive cylinder 48 and guided by the towing attachment rail 42. For a mobile lift platform, the lift platform 31 extends below the front of the vehicle and is vertically movable, it retracts to a central position (platform position 2). When releasing the vehicle, the vehicle is gripped on the platform with the traction means, pulled onto the lifting platform and pushed to the other side of the exit ramp 9 (platform position 3).
The parking platform 8 shown in fig. 8 and 9 comprises a conical plate (circular disc) provided with fixed support points. To ensure that these rails do not exceed the parking area, they are placed behind the platform. The conical shape ensures a tight parking. Thus, the rectangular shape overlaps in the front and the side. Large vehicles may be laterally beyond a platform and the wheels may roll into or out of the adjacent platform. For a mobile lift platform, the platform front stop line is selected to maximize lift of the lift platform and to facilitate accurate positioning during braking for smooth transfer over the rollers during transfer braking. By selecting the suspension mode of each platform, a transverse rail is not needed, so that a longitudinal space is not needed, and the distance to a ceiling can be reduced. The horizontally reinforced plate member may be installed at the side to obtain a larger space.
In order to make parking compact with a minimum of space, it is possible, in combination with a conical or oval basic shape of the front of the vehicle, to push the vehicle onto a small stationary parking platform 8. They are arranged in a star shape to form a polygon, thereby forming a disk shape. The vehicle can be compactly parked in a circle by combining the conical front part, and the front part corresponds to the center point of the circle. This particular compact arrangement can be automatically formed without the need for a gantry to move the vehicle, by using only central guidance, computer aided optimization positioning, and selected platform design during vehicle parking. Thus, when the vehicle is driven in or out, the rectangular parking grounds may overlap, and the paths thereof may also overlap. The tapered front and short front of the vehicle are utilized to reduce the distance accordingly. By means of the electronic measuring device and the holding of the vehicles at a certain angle, the parking platforms 8 can be distributed, so that two small vehicles can be parked beside each wide vehicle, and the parking distance can be further reduced. In this way, the parking space is set only according to the average width of the vehicle, not the maximum width of the vehicle.
Calculations show that the optimal number of stops per parking surface is about 14 to 20. The larger the number, the more inefficiently the inner space of the disc is increased. If the number of parking platforms is small compared to the available area, the central space is too small or the space required by the lifting device and the lifting platforms is too large. Compared with the traditional system and other rectangular rack automatic parking systems, the area requirement can be greatly reduced. Each parking platform 8 requires no moving parts, so that the design can be simplified.
The parking platform 8 may also form a gapless disc, and depending on the width of the vehicle, the vehicle may be parked at an angle, thereby parking side by side at a minimum distance. In a specific method, the pillars 2 are placed outside, and the platform is supported by horizontal rails. The vertical rails 71 are external between the parking platforms. Depending on the arrangement, no or only lateral or radial horizontal rails are required below the platform. In this way, the vertical loss of ceiling height and space is negligible. The height, i.e. vertical distance, of each table top can be determined prior to installation and can be conveniently adjusted as needed, if necessary. The vertical distance depends on the specific vehicle height and the different deck heights. Since the table is set on the basis of the vehicle measurements, each vehicle only needs the necessary height. Therefore, the space utilization can be further improved, and compared with the conventional multi-storey parking lot, the space utilization can be improved by three times.
The exit ramp 9 comprises a simple flat plate on which the vehicle is propelled by traction means, in the same way as the parking platform, but in a forward direction. After the vehicle has pushed onto it, the exit ramp is opened to communicate with the driver. To avoid delays while driving out, multiple exit ramps may be provided, and link load zones may be provided.
The lift shaft and cover of the parking platform comprise elements that can be combined together. By using the modular design and using the plug and screw connections, the installation process can be accelerated and simplified. The components may be disassembled in the reverse order. The cover may also be secured to a wall of a building as a suspended or erected structure. The entire installation may be combined above or below the ground. Emergency equipment, such as emergency exits, fire protection systems, stairways, elevators, lighting and ventilation facilities, can be reduced considerably, provided that the user does not enter the counter. The lifting device is based on commercial design and lifting technology for personnel and cargo transport.
