Description

The invention relates to multi-tiered mechanized structures for storing vehicles.

Known multi-tier parking lot for car storage, comprising a metal frame with cells for storing cars, a vehicle height control sensor, a stacking crane for moving freight pallets into and out of the cell, the car storage cells being formed by securing freight rails to the metal frame at a certain distance from each other pallets (JP 11125021 A, 05/11/1999, ЕНН 6/12).

A multi-storey garage is known, which includes tiered cells for installing cars surrounding a central shaft for raising and lowering cars with a lift installed in its volume, made with the possibility of vertical reciprocating movement. Cells for installing cars are placed on a tier close to each other and occupy an enclosed space adjacent to the central shaft along its transverse perimeter. Some of the cells communicate with the central shaft through adjacent cells, one side of which is the side or part of the side of the shaft. Cars are installed in a cell on a pallet, while either the cell for installing the car or the lift is made with means of horizontal movement of the car, providing the possibility of mutually perpendicular movement of the car mounted on the pallet (RU 2338857 C2, 20.11.2008, Е04Н 6/12).

The multi-tier mechanized parking lot contains cells for storing cars on pallets, a hoist in the form of a winch with a cargo platform, equipped with a mechanism for moving the pallet, cells for storing cars are formed of flat frames that are detachably connected to each other and cells of adjacent tiers, while the cargo platform is located between parallel in rows of cells, its ends facing the cells are provided with carriages covering vertical guides mounted on vertical elements of flat frames, the lower e cell provided with supporting elements made with the possibility of regulating their height, winch can be placed on top of the upper tier plane or the bottom plane of the lower tier (RU 54606 U1, 10.07.2006, E04N 6/00).

The closest analogue of the proposed invention is a multi-storey modular monorail parking garage, including a lifting mechanism with cargo areas, mounted on a supporting structure. The supporting structure is made collapsible with the ability to change the configuration relative to the horizon from 0 to 90 ° at the time of assembly. A lifting mechanism is made to the upper and lower parts of the supporting structure, made in the form of a monorail with a running gear, on which two brackets, an upper and a lower one, and a cargo platform are installed. A jack is mounted on the lower bracket pivotally connected to the lower surface of the cargo area and allows changing the angle of inclination of the cargo area relative to the horizontal around the horizontal axis of the upper bracket of the running gear. Holes are made in the cargo area itself, in which wheel stoppers are installed with the stoppers switching mechanism and width limiters. On each parking area of all tiers, ladders are installed, made with the possibility of extension to the cargo platform at the time of its stop on this floor (patent RU 2119030 C1, 09.20.1998, ЕНН 6/12 (2006.01)).

In all the mentioned structures of mechanized parking lots, cars can be stored for storage with the engine turned off, which eliminates the need for forced ventilation. However, a common drawback of all these complexes is that they consist of structurally complex parts and assemblies of large equipment, their actuators are driven by electric drives, which requires a certain level of electrical safety and maintenance.

An object of the invention is the creation of a multi-tiered mechanized modular structure of an open type for car storage, in which the vehicle is loaded into storage with the engine turned off and without the use of electric lifting drives. Such parking lots are especially relevant for car storage in places with a high density of urban development.

The technical result of the invention is to increase environmental and fire safety, eliminating the need to create forced ventilation of the parking lot, ensuring the functioning of the executive mechanisms of the parking lot manually by one person.

The technical result is achieved in a multi-tiered mechanized modular open-air car park, which contains at least one module made of a metal frame erected on a foundation with cells for storing vehicles on pallets, equipped with a lifting mechanism. The metal frame is made on the basis of supporting columns that make up the inclined faces of an inclined rectangular parallelepiped with an angle of inclination relative to the vertical of 7-25 ° in the direction of entry of the car. Cells for storing cars are located in two, three or four tiers, and cells of the second, third and fourth tiers are formed by fixing on the supporting columns of the metal frame at an angle of 5-7 ° relative to the horizontal of the guides for removable pallets for cars. The hoisting mechanism includes a manual winch with a chain hoist system and a loading platform. The manual winch is located on the second tier when the cells are two or three tiers or on the third tier when the cells are three or four tiers from the side opposite to the vehicle entrance. The cargo platform is located at the same horizontal angle as the guides for removable pallets, made with the possibility of moving it through a manual winch along the guides fixed along the supporting columns of the metal frame from the side of the car's entry into the cell, and with the possibility of placing it above the upper cell on the guides mounted on the supporting columns of the metal frame at the same angle to the horizontal as the guides for removable pallets. The cargo platform is also equipped with removable pallets for cars placed on top of each other in the number of cells, a mechanism for the longitudinal movement of removable pallets into the cell and vice versa, and locks to prevent the vehicle from rolling off the platform. Removable pallets for cars are equipped with fluid collectors and car wheel locks, and a hand winch is installed on each tier to actuate the mechanism for the longitudinal movement of removable pallets into the cell and vice versa.

In addition, if necessary, the parking lot can be equipped with a canopy, a wall mesh fence (for example, between the cells and along the perimeter of the cells), as well as louvered gates at the entrance to each cell. This will protect cars parked in the parking lot from atmospheric precipitation, increase car safety from theft or damage, and also give the parking lot an attractive appearance.

To move the user between the tiers, the parking lot can be equipped with any known technical means, for example, a staircase located on the side opposite to the vehicle entrance.

The invention is illustrated in figures 1-7. Figure 1 shows a General view of one module of a mechanized parking lot of an open type with the placement of cells in four tiers. Figure 2 schematically shows a winch pulley system for moving a loading platform between tiers and a winch for moving pallets from the loading platform to the cell and back to the loading platform.

The metal frame 1 (see figure 1) is made on the basis of supporting columns 2 and contains four tiers of cells 3 for storing cars. As a special advantage of the proposed design of the metal frame 1, it should be noted that it is possible to move the cargo platform 5 with the car between tiers by one person using a manual winch 7 with a power tackle system. It was experimentally determined that the implementation of the metal frame 1 is not of a standard shape, but in the form of an inclined rectangular parallelepiped with an angle of inclination relative to the vertical in the direction of vehicle entry α = 7-25 °, allowing, by placing guides 6 for the cargo platform 5 along the inclined supporting columns 2 of the metal frame with the vehicle’s entrance to the cell, reduce the load on the winch 7 to move the cargo platform 5 between the tiers due to the redistribution of the weight of the raised cargo platform 5 with the vehicle on it it on the guides 6. Lifting loading platform 5 thus occurs not vertically, but at an angle equal to the angle metal frame supporting columns α. It should be noted, despite the fact that the technical solution chosen as the closest analogue provides for the installation of a metal frame at an angle, it does not use the advantage of such an implementation, which in turn is implemented in the claimed invention.

A manual winch 7 equipped with a chain hoist system for moving the loading platform 5 between the tiers is placed on the second tier when the cells are two or three tiers or on the third tier when the cells are three or four tiers from the side opposite to the vehicle entrance. These options for placing winch 7 are the most optimal in operation and allow the operator to visually control the process of storing the vehicle in all cells without the need to move from tier to tier. Figure 1 as an example shows an embodiment of the parking in four tiers with the placement of the winch 7 on the third tier. In addition, the proposed design of the parking lot provides for installation on each tier, except for the first one, a manual winch 9 with a chain hoist system for actuating the mechanism for the longitudinal movement of removable pallets and moving the removable pallet 8 into the cell from the cargo platform 5 and vice versa.

The power pulley system is known as a lifting device, consisting of a system of fixed blocks enveloped by a cable, designed to lift and move loads and allows you to gain strength. In other words, there is a reduction in the effort required to lift or move the load. In the present invention, as mentioned above, all winches are equipped with a chain hoist system (see figure 2, 3). The manual winch 7 is equipped with a chain hoist system consisting of a cable 11 and blocks 12, and the manual winch 7 is equipped with a chain hoist system consisting of a cable 14 and blocks 13. The implementation of the metal frame 1, as described above, in combination with the use of the winch 7 with the system in the claimed invention the power tackle allows you to abandon the electric drive and makes it possible to comfortably actuate the lifting mechanism by one person. Moreover, depending on the technological and operational requirements for a particular parking lot, various known chain hoist systems can be used, and not only that which is schematically depicted in FIGS. 2, 3.

Thus, in the present invention (see Fig. 1), the car enters the upper pallet 8 from the pallets placed one above the other on the cargo platform, after which all further manipulations for storing it are carried out with the engine turned off. The car is rolled out from the pallet 8 also when the engine is off. This is achieved by arranging the cargo platform 5 with pallets 8 at an angle to the horizontal β = 5-7 °, while the car is rolled out under the influence of gravity. In addition, the placement of the pallet 8 in the cells 3 and the placement of the cargo platform at the same angle to the horizontal β = 5-7 ° allows you to minimize the effort to move the pallet 8 from the cell 3 to the cargo platform 5 also due to the use of gravity of the cargo platform 5 with a car on it. It should be noted that the initial location of the cargo platform 5 at the same horizontal angle as the guides 4 for removable pallets for cars in cells 3 is fixed, eliminates the use of additional equipment that provides a change in the angle of inclination of the cargo platform 5, simplifies the design, and also reduces the load on a winch 9 with a power pulley system when moving a pallet 8 with a car from a loading platform 5 to cell 3.

For ease of operation and saving space in the proposed design, the cargo platform 5 after placing the car in the cell is moved to the guides 10 mounted on a metal frame above the upper tier, and remains there for storage until it is necessary to use it (see Fig. 3). The cargo platform 5 is equipped with latches 15 against rolling the car from the platform, which provides an increased level of security for the functioning of the parking lot (see figure 4). Each pallet 8, placed on the loading platform 5, is equipped with a fluid collector 16 and car wheel locks 17, for example, made in the form of stops (see figure 5). Storage of cars on pallets with liquid collectors ensures the environmentally friendly parking lot as a whole, since dirt and technological car fluids do not enter the ground, and also protects cars located on the lower tiers from dirt and process liquids draining from cars placed on the upper tiers. The car wheel lock 17 prevents the vehicle from moving and provides a high level of safety when the platform is moving.

In addition, the design of the parking lot, depending on the requirements for the appearance of the parking lot and other operational requirements, can be supplemented by a wall mesh fence 19 located along the perimeter of the cells and between the cells, as well as louvered gates 18 at the entrance to each cell.

Depending on the requirements for the capacity of the parking lot, it can consist of several modules with any given number of parking spaces, and depending on the particular location, it can be made with cells for storing cars located in two, three or four tiers. Placement of cells in more than four tiers will necessitate the use of a more powerful lifting device for moving a loading platform loaded with a car than a hand winch. This is due to the fact that lifting the load to a height of the fifth and higher tiers with the help of the efforts of one person will be difficult and not convenient in operation. In the number of modules in the framework of the proposed invention there are no restrictions. Each module is equipped with a separate cargo platform, which is especially convenient and significantly reduces the time required to park the car in comparison with the known parking designs, which use one cargo platform to move cars to the cells. In addition, the modules can be placed relative to each other in any way, for example as shown in Fig.6-7.

Thus, the proposed design of a multi-tiered mechanized modular open-air car park has a complex of simultaneous significant advantages over the well-known car park constructions:

- maintenance of a modular mechanized parking lot can be performed by one person (operator or even the driver himself) without using an electric lifting and triggering mechanism, and it is enough for the driver to call on the cargo platform, and all further steps to install the machine in the cell are performed with the engine turned off;

- entry and exit of a car from a cell does not depend on the presence and movement of other cars in the parking lot, since each module is equipped with its own loading platform for moving cars between tiers;

- simplicity of design, the ability to layout a different number of modules with a different number of tiers provided meets modern ergonomics of the urban landscape;

- environmental friendliness of the parking, provided due to the possibility of carrying out manipulations on storing the car in a cell with the engine turned off, as well as due to the storage of cars in cells on pallets;

- effective natural ventilation in a multi-tier car park prevents car corrosion;

- decreases the cost of parking space due to the lack of the need to sum up electricity and the cost of paying for electricity.
