Definitions

  • This invention concerns a trolley able to move motor vehicles in an automated car park comprising a plurality of parking spaces.
  • the trolley according to the invention is able to move a vehicle automatically from the entrance to the car park to a defined parking space and, subsequently, from said parking space to the exit of the car park, also in co-operation with a lift.
  • the state of the art includes a trolley to move motor vehicles in an automated car park as, for example, in US-A-3 435 965 comprising an underground or elevated structure which defines a plurality of parking spaces in each of which a motor vehicle is able to be parked.
  • the trolley is able to pick up a motor vehicle left by the user at a delivery point and to park it in a free parking space.
  • the trolley is able to collect the motor vehicle from the relative parking space and to deposit it at the collection point.
  • the automated trolley is able to position itself under the motor vehicle, to lift it from the ground and to move it along preferential paths.
  • Conventional trolleys are able to lift the front wheels of the motor vehicle to move it from one place to another in the car park, letting only the rear wheels rest on the ground.
  • the motor vehicle and the trolley must be aligned by the user himself when, at the moment he delivers the motor vehicle, he must ascertain that he has positioned it correctly at the delivery point.
  • This procedure is a subjective one, and hence is not very reliable.
  • a mistaken positioning of the motor vehicle with respect to the trolley can cause imbalance to the movement organs of the trolley itself, it can cause damage to the motor vehicle and to the structure of the car park or may even constitute a danger for other users and workers.
  • One purpose of the invention is to provide a self-moving trolley for automated car parks able to perform, quickly and with extreme safety, the operations to park and deliver any motor vehicle, irrespective of the dimensions thereof.
  • Another purpose is to make possible to reduce the width of the parking spaces and therefore to increase, given the same dimensions, the capacity of the automated car parks.
  • a further purpose of the invention is to provide a trolley which can be easily employed in existing car parks too.
  • the trolley according to the invention is able to lift any motor vehicle and center it with respect to the trolley itself so as to distribute the load uniformly and to prevent danger to users, motor vehicles and the structures of the car park.
  • the trolley according to the invention is able to position itself under the vehicle to be moved and is equipped with lifting means able to lift said motor vehicle to a defined height from the ground, alignment means able to correctly position the motor vehicle on the trolley and moving means able to move it from one part of the car park to another, along preferential paths.
  • the trolley according to the invention in working conditions reaches a maximum width of about 180 cm, so that the width of the parking space can be reduced to about 200 cm, compared with the 230 ⁇ 250 cm of present parking spaces for trolleys of a conventional type.
  • the lifting means comprise, for each wheel of the motor vehicle, a pair of arms arranged at a defined height from the ground and able to move selectively between an inactive position wherein they do not interfere with the wheels of the motor vehicle and a working position wherein they are positioned on opposite sides with respect to the axis of the wheel and draw progressively nearer to each other until a pre-defined distance.
  • This distance is less than the value of the diameter of the wheel and the height of the arms from the ground is less than the radius of the wheel.
  • the alignment means according to the invention are activated only after all the wheels of the motor vehicle have been lifted from the ground and comprise, for each pair of wheels which are opposite each other with respect to the longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle, two thruster elements able to move, in opposite directions to each other, towards the outside of the trolley in the direction of a respective wheel.
  • the thruster elements are able to move the motor vehicle laterally, acting on the inner part of the wheel, until the longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle and one reference axis of the trolley, for example, the median axis, coincide.
  • Each thruster element is located between a pair of arms and therefore causes the wheels to slide sideways on the arms.
  • the arms are shaped so as to facilitate this lateral sliding and the lifting of the wheels.
  • the arms comprise at least a roller equipped with an idler movement, which assists the lifting of the wheel, and the surface is carefully finished, which assists the lateral sliding of the wheel.
  • the counter-positioned thruster elements defining the same pair are able to protrude from the trolley to an equal extent; in this way, when both the thruster elements touch a respective wheel, the longitudinal axes of the trolley and of the motor vehicle coincide.
  • the trolley is equipped with front lifting means and rear lifting means which are independent of each other, and front alignment means and rear alignment means which are independent of each other.
  • the rear lifting means and the rear alignment means and/or the front lifting means and the front alignment means are able to vary their position along the trolley so as to adapt to any interaxis whatsoever of the wheels of the motor vehicle to be moved.
  • Fig. 1 shows an automated car park 10 comprising a vertical, elevated structure able to define a plurality of parking spaces 13, a delivery point 11, a collection point 12, a lift 14 and a trolley 20 according to the invention.
  • the trolley 20 is able to lift a motor vehicle 15 from the surface of the points 11 and 12, from the lift 14 and the parking spaces 13, to transport it from one place to another inside the car park 10.
  • the trolley 20 is able to transport the motor vehicle from the delivery point 11 into the lift 14 and from the latter to a defined parking space 13 and, during the pick up operations, is able to transport the motor vehicle 15 from said parking space 13 into the lift 14 and from the latter to the collection point 12.
  • the trolley 20 and the lift 14 are moved in a completely automatic manner, managed by a programmable control unit which is not shown in the drawings.
  • the trolley 20 comprises a bearing frame 16, of a conformation able to position itself without interference under the motor vehicle 15.
  • the points 11 and 12, the parking spaces 13 and the lift 14 are each equipped with their own channel 19 (Figs. 5-13) inside which the trolley 20 is able to move, by means of wheels 17, to position itself under the motor vehicle 15.
  • the front wheels 17 are connected to an electric motor 22 commanded by the control unit according to the signals received from appropriate end-of-travel elements, not shown here, provided inside every channel 19 and/or on the frame 16.
  • the motor 22 is equipped with a device able to regulate the acceleration and deceleration thereof, so that the trolley 20 is not subjected to sudden movements which might compromise the safety of the motor vehicle 15.
  • the frame 16 defines a box-like structure able to contain the functional organs of two lifting assemblies, front 18a and rear 18b, able to lift the motor vehicle 15 with respect to the ground 21, and two alignment assemblies, front 23a .and rear 23b, able to center the motor vehicle 15 with respect to the trolley 20 (Figs. 5-9).
  • the trolley 20 is equipped, on each of its two long sides, with wheels 24 (Fig. 3) with a vertical axis of rotation and idler movement, able to slide on the side walls of the channel 19 and therefore to prevent dragging of the bearing frame 16 on said walls (Figs. 5-9).
  • Each lifting assembly 18a and 18b comprises two pairs of horizontal arms 26, each located on the upper part of the frame 16 near its long side and on opposite sides with respect to the longitudinal axis 25 of the trolley 20 (Fig. 2).
  • Each arm 26 supports a roller 27 equipped with idler movement and is orthogonally coupled to the upper end of a vertical pin 28 connected, as will be described hereafter, to an electric motor 29 of the reversible type.
  • the electric motor 29, controlled by appropriate end-of-travel means which are not shown here, is able to make the pins 28 rotate to selectively take each arm 26 into two distinct positions: a first position, or inactive position, wherein the arm 26 is arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis 25 of the trolley 20, keeping inside the bulk of the bearing frame 16, and a second position, or working position, wherein the arm 26 is arranged orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 25, protruding from the bearing frame 16.
  • the arms 26 constituting the same pair of the lifting assembly, 18a or 18b, that is to say, those located on the same side of the trolley 20, are able to move towards each other in order to grip between them a wheel 55 of the motor vehicle 15 in order to lift it from the ground 21 (Fig. 3).
  • the wheel 55 is lifted without any damage to the tyres or other parts of the motor vehicle 15 since the rollers 27, equipped with idler movement, are able to follow the profile of the wheel 55, whatever the width and the diameter "D" may be, remaining continuously in contact therewith.
  • the arms 26 are able to draw close to each other to a distance "x", less than the diameter "D" of the wheel 55 and their height “h” from the ground 21 is less than the radius "r” of the wheel 55 (Figs. 3, 5).
  • the motor 29 is connected to the four vertical pins 28 by means of a kinematic chain comprising two bevel gears 31 able to connect the shaft 30 of the motor 29 to respective lower transverse shafts 32 and two flexible transmissions 50, for example consisting of belts or chains, able to connect each lower transverse shaft 32 to a respective upper transverse shaft 33.
  • each upper transverse shaft 33 is connected, by means of a respective bevel gear 34, to a corresponding vertical pin 28 of two arms 26 which are specular with respect to the longitudinal axis 25 (Fig. 6).
  • the rear lifting assembly 18b is able to move along the same frame 16 between a position, indicated in Fig. 3 by a line of dashes, wherein it is located at a minimum distance "d1" from the front moving assembly 18a, and a position, indicated in Fig. 3 by a continuous line, wherein it is located at a maximum distance "d2" from the front moving assembly 18a.
  • This allows to adapt the trolley 20 to the interaxis of the wheels 55 of the motor vehicle 15 and, therefore, to lift and move any type of motor vehicle.
  • the lifting assembly 18b is installed on a slider 35 able to slide on the frame 16 by means of lower wheels 36 able to rest on the inner bottom wall of the frame 16 and side wheels 37 able to rest on the inner side walls of the frame 16 (Fig. 9).
  • the slider 35 is translated along the frame 16 by activating a reversible-type electric motor 38 solid with the frame 16.
  • the motor 38 is connected, in this case by means of chains 40, to two parallel threaded bars 39, coupled at the two ends and free to rotate, to the bearing frame 16 (Fig. 2).
  • the two threaded bars 39 are inserted into respective elements 41, equipped with lead screws, solid with the slider 35.
  • the lifting assemblies, front 18a and rear 18b, differ from each other in that the front assembly 18a is solid with the bearing frame 16 whereas the rear assembly 18b is installed on the slider 35.
  • the rear lifting assembly 18b has the innermost pair of arms 26 and the outermost pair of arms 26, in the direction of the length of the trolley 20, which are autonomous since two independent motors are provided; a first motor 29 is able to command the innermost pair of arms 26 and a second motor 52 is able to command the outermost pair of arms 26.
  • the alignment assemblies, front 23a and rear 23b, differ from each other in that the front assembly 23a is solid with the bearing frame 16 whereas the rear assembly 23b is installed on the slider 35.
  • Each alignment assembly 23a, 23b comprises two thruster elements 42 equipped at the outer end with respective abutment elements 51 made of elastic material, for example rubber.
  • the thruster elements 42 are parallel to each other and able to move, driven by an electric motor 43, in directions orthogonal to the longitudinal axis 25 of the trolley 20, each in the opposite direction to the other.
  • each thruster element 42 is able to move between a retracted position, shown in Fig. 2 by a continuous line, wherein the abutment element 51 is contained inside the lateral edge of the trolley 20, and a position of maximum extraction, shown in Fig. 2 by a line of dashes, wherein the abutment element 51 protrudes by a defined segment with respect to said lateral edge.
  • a first pinion 45 is keyed onto the upper end of a vertical shaft 48 driven by the motor 43 by means of a bevel gear 47.
  • the second pinion 45 on the contrary is keyed onto a vertical shaft 49 driven by a chain 46 able to close on two toothed wheels keyed respectively onto the shaft 48 and the shaft 49.
  • the alignment assemblies 23a and 23b are activated after the motor vehicle 15 has been lifted from the ground by the two lifting assemblies 18a and 18b.
  • the two abutment elements 51 of the same alignment assembly 23a or 23b each draw near to a respective wheel 55 of a same axle of the motor vehicle 15.
  • the first of the two abutment elements 51 to touch the respective wheel 55 pushes it, and therefore the whole motor vehicle 15, outwards until the second abutment element 51 also touches the respective wheel 55.
  • the two thruster elements 42 protrude equally from the bulk of the trolley 20 and therefore, when both the abutment elements 51 touch the respective wheels 55 of the motor vehicle 15, the median point of the axle of the wheels 55 is vertically aligned with the longitudinal axis 25 of the trolley 20.
  • the pick-up and park cycle provides that the trolley 20 positions itself under the motor vehicle 15, left in the delivery point 11, with the arms 26 of the lifting assemblies 18a and 18b in the inactive position and the slider 35 located at the maximum distance from the front lifting assembly 18a. Then the arms 26 of the front lifting assembly 18a are taken to the working position so that the front wheels 55 of the motor vehicle 15 are raised from the ground. At this point the arms 26, located farther back than the rear lifting assembly 18b, are taken to the working position by the motor 52 while those located farther forward are left in the inactive position.
  • the slider 35 is moved towards the front lifting assembly 18a until the arms 26 located farther back touch the rear wheels 55 of the motor vehicle 15. Then the arms 26 located farther forward are also taken to the working position by the motor 29, so that the rear wheels 55 of the motor vehicle 15 too are raised from the ground 21.
  • the front alignment assembly 23a and the rear alignment assembly 23b are activated simultaneously so that all the abutment elements 51 of the thruster elements 42 touch a respective wheel 55 of the motor vehicle 15.
  • the trolley 20 can be moved from the delivery point 11 onto the lift 14 and from hence to a defined parking space 13.
  • the two thruster elements 42 are taken to the retracted position and the two lifting assemblies 18a and 18b are de-activated, for example the rear one 18b first and then the front one 18a, so that the wheels 55 of the motor vehicle 15 rest on the ground of the parking space 13 and the trolley 20 can be returned to the delivery point 11 to begin a new pick-up and park cycle.
  • the cycle to pick up the motor vehicle 15 from the parking space 13 and deliver it to the collection point 12 is substantially the same as the one described above, except that the step of centering the motor vehicle 15 on the trolley 20 may not be necessary because the motor vehicle 15 is already correctly positioned with respect to the channel 19 of the parking space 13.
  • the thruster elements 42 may in any case be taken into the extracted position to ensure that the motor vehicle is more stable during movement.
  • Figs. 10-13 show two different embodiments which can be employed both at the delivery point 11 and at the collection point 12 and in the lift 14, to close the channel 19 in the absence of the trolley 20.
  • the channel 19 is closed by two movable panels 53 able to draw near each other until they touch in correspondence with the center line of the channel 19.
  • a roll-up shutter 54 is provided, guided at the two ends and able to close the channel 19 lengthwise.
  • the trolley 20 is able to command the opening and closing of the movable panels 53, or the roll-up shutter 54, respectively when it arrives at or leaves the site where the movable panels 53 or the roll-up shutter 54 are installed.
  • Figs. 14-18 show another embodiment of the trolley 20 according to the invention.
  • the electric motor 22 is associated with a reduction unit 56 directly connected to the axle of the wheels 17 of the trolley 20 (Figs. 14, 16).
  • Each arm 26 is able to be moved by means of a relative electric motor 57 of the reversible type associated with a reducer 58 to which the vertical pin 28 is connected (Figs. 14, 17, 18).
  • the movement of the thruster elements 42 of the alignment assemblies 23a, 23b is entrusted in this case to two electric motors 59 of the reversible type arranged respectively one aligned with the longitudinal axis 25 and one inclined with respect thereto.
  • Each electric motor 59 is able to transmit movement to the thruster elements 42 by means of a respective bevel gear 60 acting on a relative vertical shaft 61.
  • the slider 35 is always moved by means of the electric motor 38 which is however connected to a single threaded bar 39, arranged in an axial position, associated with a relative element 41 equipped with a lead screw.
  • Figs. 19 and 20 show a variant of the invention in which each arm 26 of the lifting assemblies 18a and 18b is moved by a relative fluid-dynamic actuator 63.
