The parking platform is of a foldable structure and comprises a bottom parking platform 120 and an upper parking platform 130 which is arranged on the base 110 and is positioned above the bottom parking platform 120; the upper parking platform 130 may be laterally movable with respect to the base 110 to be away from or close to the base 110, and the upper parking platform 130 may be vertically elevated with respect to the base 110 to be folded or unfolded. The base 110 is connected to the upper parking platform 130 by a lifting mechanism 160, and the lifting mechanism 160 includes a lifting lever 161 (including lifting levers 161a and 161 b). The base 110 is provided with a circuit control unit 140 and a detection structure 180.

When the parking device is in a non-use state, the parking platform is in a folding state, and the base 110, the bottom parking platform 120 and the upper parking platform 130 are overlapped from bottom to top, so that the parking device is convenient to store, transfer and transport. Taking a typical working procedure as an example, the parking method using the parking apparatus 100 is as follows:

the first stage: the parking apparatus 100 is installed in a parking area, and an entrance of the parking apparatus 100 is parallel or perpendicular to a road. In the initial state, the parking platform is in a folded state, and the base 110, the bottom parking platform 120 and the upper parking platform 130 are folded together from bottom to top.

And a second stage: the first vehicle 200 to be parked may directly enter the upper parking platform 130 to park.

And a third stage: when the second vehicle 200 to be parked needs to be parked, the upper parking platform 130 is lifted up by the vertical lifting mechanism 160, and the second vehicle 200 to be parked enters the bottom parking platform 120 to be parked.

A fourth stage; when the first vehicle to be parked 200 needs to leave, the upper parking platform 130 is controlled to move out transversely to be far away from the base, and then the vertical lifting mechanism 160 is controlled to drop the upper parking platform 130 to the road surface, so that the first vehicle to be parked 200 leaves the upper parking platform 130; the vertical lifting mechanism 160 is controlled to vertically lift the upper parking platform 130 to a predetermined height, and then the upper parking platform 130 is controlled to move laterally in to approach the base, and returns to the original position.

Fifth stage: when the third vehicle 200 to be parked needs to be parked, the upper parking platform 130 is controlled to move laterally out away from the base. After the lateral movement distance of the upper parking platform is adjusted, the vertical lifting mechanism 160 is controlled to drop the upper parking platform 130 to the road surface, and the third vehicle 200 to be parked enters the upper parking platform 130 for parking.

Sixth stage: when the second vehicle 200 to be parked needs to leave, it exits the bottom parking platform 120.

Seventh stage: when the fourth to-be-parked vehicle 200 needs to be parked, the fourth to-be-parked vehicle 200 enters the bottom parking platform 120 to be parked; or, according to the requirement of the user, the bottom parking platform 120 is controlled to move out transversely to be far away from the base, and the fourth vehicle 200 to be parked directly forwards runs into the bottom parking platform, so that the trouble of backing and warehousing can be avoided.

The method of stopping and driving off the following vehicle and so on.

In this embodiment, the bottom parking platform 120 may be a supporting surface area defined by the base 110, that is, the supporting surface is directly used as a vehicle carrying platform. Alternatively, the bottom parking platform 120 is a bedplate structure mounted on the base 110, and in this case, it is preferable that the bottom parking platform 120 is laterally slidable with respect to the base 110 to be away from or close to the base 110.

The bottom parking platform 120 and the upper parking platform 130 may be provided with a platform adjustment mechanism for adjusting the size of the area occupied by the corresponding bottom parking platform 120 and/or upper parking platform 130. In fig. 1, the upper parking platform 130 is provided with a platform adjustment mechanism. The area refers to a two-dimensional closed area formed by the boundary of the platform, which is a plane area with the boundary, and the area can internally comprise discontinuous parts such as a spacing area, a hole and the like. By way of example and not limitation, a circle "o" occupies a circular area and a circle "o" occupies an outer circular area.

In this embodiment, the upper parking platform 130 includes a fixed section and an adjusting section 170, the adjusting section 170 is movably mounted on the fixed section, and the area occupied by the platform can be adjusted by adjusting the turning angle or the telescopic length of the adjusting section 170 of the upper parking platform 130.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the adjustment section 170 may be mounted to one or both side ends of the fixed section by a hinge shaft 133. The platform adjustment mechanism may include a folding driving structure for driving the adjusting section 170 to turn over, and the adjusting section 170 is driven to stand up by the folding driving structure to reduce the occupied area of the upper parking platform 130, so that the upper parking platform 130 can be conveniently lifted and rotated in a limited space.

Preferably, the folding driving structure is a rotating structure which is connected to the hinge shaft and drives the hinge shaft 133 to rotate. By way of example and not limitation, the rotating structure may be a motor (electric motor) or a gear with a power output end connected to the hinge shaft 133, the adjusting section 170 is fixedly connected to the hinge shaft 133, and the hinge shaft 133 is driven to rotate by the motor (electric motor) or the gear so as to drive the adjusting section 170 to turn over to stand or lie.

By way of example and not limitation, the turning structure may be a motor or a hydraulic telescopic rod, the power output end of which is connected with the flat plate of the adjusting section 170, the adjusting section 170 is movably mounted on the hinge shaft 133, and the adjusting section 170 is driven to rotate around the hinge shaft 133 by the motor or the hydraulic telescopic rod so as to achieve the standing or the flat-laying of the adjusting section 170.

The area occupied by the upper parking platform 130 increases (the area of the plane area formed by the boundary increases) when the adjusting section 170 is laid flat, as shown in fig. 2A; the adjustment section 170 is raised such that the upper parking platform 130 occupies a reduced area (reduced area of the planar area formed by the boundaries), as shown in fig. 2B.

Of course, the adjusting section 170 may also be folded in multiple stages as needed to further reduce the area occupied by the platform, which is not described herein.

Referring to fig. 3, another embodiment of the adjustment section 170 is shown.

The adjustment section 170 is mounted on one or both sides of the fixed section by means of a slideway or pulley. The platform adjustment mechanism includes a telescopic driving structure for driving the adjustment section 170 to slide laterally to extend or retract relative to the fixed section, and the adjustment section is driven to retract by the telescopic driving structure to reduce the area occupied by the platform.

By way of example and not limitation, the telescopic driving structure may include a hydraulic control system and a telescopic cylinder, one end of the telescopic cylinder is fixed on the fixed section, the other end of the telescopic cylinder is fixed on the adjusting section 170, and the length of extension of the adjusting section 170 is adjusted by adjusting the telescopic length of the telescopic cylinder through the hydraulic control system. Preferably, the adjustment section 170 is positioned above or below the fixed section after being laterally slid.

The adjusting section 170 extends out of the fixed section, and the area occupied by the upper parking platform 130 increases (the area of the plane area formed by the boundary increases), as shown in fig. 3A; the adjustment section 170 is retracted relative to the fixed section such that the upper parking platform 130 occupies a reduced area (reduced area of planar area formed by the boundaries), as shown in fig. 3B.

Of course, the adjusting section 170 may also be a multi-stage telescopic type to further reduce the area occupied by the platform, which is not described herein.

In this embodiment, at least one steering mechanism may be further mounted on the upper parking platform and/or the bottom parking platform, for driving the corresponding platform to rotate so as to adjust the direction of the corresponding platform. When the parking device is used for parking, the steering mechanism is controlled to adjust the direction of the corresponding platform, and the method comprises the following steps:

the platform adjusting mechanism adjusts the size of the area occupied by the corresponding platform, so that the adjusted platform size is suitable for platform rotation;

and controlling the steering mechanism to drive the platform to rotate so as to adjust the direction of the platform.

Preferably, the parking device is further provided with a detection structure 180, and the detection structure 180 is a distance detection structure and/or a vehicle position detection structure.

Specifically, width information of the road surface on which the parking device 100 is located and/or parking position information of a parked vehicle on a corresponding platform are collected; and then, the platform adjusting mechanism adjusts the size of the area occupied by the corresponding platform according to the width information and/or the parking position information, so that the adjusted platform size is suitable for rotating.

The width of the interval area is adjusted by the platform adjusting mechanism so as to adjust the size of the area occupied by the corresponding platform.

By way of example and not limitation, such as the upper parking platform 130, there are 2 wheel support structures disposed at positions corresponding to the wheels 210: the first wheel supporting structure 135 and the second wheel supporting structure 136 are provided with at least one spacing area therebetween, and the width of the spacing area is H.

The distance H between the first wheel support structure 135 and the second wheel support structure 136 may be adjusted so that the size of the area occupied by the upper parking platform 130 may be adjusted. Specifically, by way of example and not limitation, such as the first wheel support structure 135 and the second wheel support structure 136 being movably mounted on the longitudinal bracket, the distance H therebetween is adjusted by driving the first wheel support structure 135 and the second wheel support structure 136 toward or away from each other on the longitudinal bracket by a driving motor.

Referring to fig. 6, the vertical lift mechanism 160 operates in the same manner as in fig. 5, and is similar in structure except that: the vertical lifting mechanism 160 includes four rollers 162a, 162b, 162c, 162d, and is disposed in slide holes 131a, 131b on the upper parking platform 130 or slide holes 151a, 151b on the first lateral sliding mechanism 150, and the motor 164 is connected to the rollers 162a, 162c through a power transmission mechanism 163, respectively. The advantage of this structure is that the speed of ascent and descent of the upper parking platform 130 is doubled compared with that shown in fig. 5 in the case where the motor rotation speed is the same.

It should be noted that, in fig. 5 and 6, the motor 164 is disposed on the upper parking platform 130, but the motor 164 may also be disposed on the first transverse sliding mechanism 150, and the principle is the same.

Referring to fig. 7, a schematic structure of the first transverse sliding mechanism 150 connected with the base 110 and the vertical lifting mechanism 160 is shown. The vertical lift mechanism 160 in fig. 7 is identical to that shown in fig. 5. The bottom of the first transverse sliding mechanism 150 is provided with rollers 152a and 152b, wherein the roller 152a can move transversely along the sliding hole on the base 110, and the roller 152b is disposed on the supporting surface. The first lateral slipping mechanism 150 is connected to a motor 154 via a power transmission mechanism 153. The working principle is as follows: the motor 154 pulls the first lateral sliding mechanism 150 to move laterally through the power transmission mechanism 153, thereby driving the upper parking platform 130 to move laterally.

The end portions of the bottom parking platform 120 and the upper parking platform 130 may be configured as a cambered surface structure or an inclined surface structure at the connection with the supporting surface, so as to facilitate the smooth driving of the vehicle 200 into and out of the parking space.

Example two

Referring to fig. 8, in another embodiment of the present invention, an extended range parking apparatus 100 is provided, in which an upper parking platform 130 of the parking apparatus 100 can move laterally at multiple stages with respect to a base, thereby increasing lateral displacement of the upper parking platform.

Wherein the multi-stage lateral sliding mechanism is opposite to the multi-stage lateral sliding mechanism when the multi-stage lateral sliding mechanism moves in the lateral direction.

The technical scheme of the embodiment has the following advantages: by providing the multi-stage lateral sliding mechanism 150, lateral displacement of the upper parking platform 130 is prolonged, so that the upper parking platform 130 is completely moved out from directly above the lower parking platform 120, and when falling on a supporting surface, no overlapping area exists with the lower parking platform 120, thereby reducing the influence between the upper parking platform 130 and the lower parking platform 120.

The traversing distance of the parking platform can be adjusted in one of the following ways: a. and under the condition that the transverse moving distance is insufficient after the primary transverse sliding mechanism is completely and transversely moved out, continuously controlling the secondary transverse sliding mechanism to completely or partially transversely move out according to the position of the vehicle to be parked. b. And under the condition that the position of the vehicle to be parked is matched after the primary transverse sliding mechanism is completely transversely moved out, stopping controlling the secondary transverse sliding mechanism to transversely move out.

The upper end of the lifting rod 161a is connected with a motor 164 through a power transmission mechanism 163. The connection mode between the power transmission mechanism 163 and the motor 164 can be a connecting rod type or a gear engagement type. The vertical lifting mechanism 160 works in the following manner: the motor 164 drives the power transmission mechanism 163, and the traction roller 162a slides in the slide hole 131; when the roller 162a slides to make the upper ends of 161a and 161b approach each other, the vertical lifting mechanism 160 drives the upper parking platform 130 to lift; otherwise, the vertical lifting mechanism 160 drives the upper parking platform 130 to descend.
