Description

The invention relates to multi-tiered automated parking.

Known rotary mechanized parking ROTARY parklift.ru/rotomay-parkovka-rotary [1]. They contain a support frame with a lifting mechanism in the form of two pairs of gears located in the upper and lower parts of the support frame, two endless chains kinematically connecting the upper and lower gears and load platforms attached to the endless chains, a control system, a drive that rotates one of pairs of gears.

When the loading platform is located at the bottom of the support frame, the car has the opportunity to drive into it for parking, or leave the platform after parking. When the drive is turned on, the loading platform with the car is raised by endless chains to a certain height, and the next free platform for parking the next car is placed in the lower position. The process can continue until all loading platforms are filled.

The disadvantage of rotary mechanized parking is the need to move all the cars parked on it if it is necessary to leave it for any particular car. In addition, endless chains are constantly loaded with a mass of loading platforms and vehicles on them, which, in the event of the destruction of one of the chains, can lead to significant material damage.

A number of technical solutions are also known [3-5], which offer mechanized parking devices, the common disadvantage of which is the need to move all cars parked on it if it is necessary to leave it for any particular car.

Closest to the proposed invention is rack parking with a hinged manipulator NEO-Park CMA C4 [2], which makes it possible to park a car in a free cell and issue a parked car without the need to move all the cars in the parking lot. It contains a multi-tiered rack with cells for storing cars, a hinged manipulator that ensures the movement of the car during parking from the parking area to the storage cell and from the storage cell to the parking area when the car is issued. When parking, the car drives into the parking area on a special pallet and the driver leaves the car. Further, the drive, located on the lifting platform of the mounted manipulator, moves the pallet with the car from the parking area to the lifting platform of the manipulator, after that the manipulator drive raises the platform to the height of the desired tier and moves it to a free storage cell. After positioning the pallet with the vehicle relative to the free bin, the lift platform drive moves the pallet with the vehicle into the vacant storage bin. The release of the car from the parking lot is carried out in the reverse order.

The disadvantages of rack parking with a hinged manipulator are due to the use of a pallet to move and store the car inside the parking lot. So, for example, if it is necessary to issue several cars from the parking lot in a row one after another, it is necessary to remove the free pallet from the parking area to a free storage cell, and only after that it becomes possible to issue the next car. When parking several cars in a row, it becomes necessary to preliminarily pick up a pallet from a free cell and deliver it to the parking area at each parking lot. In addition, the use of pallets requires high positioning accuracy of the mounted manipulator relative to the tier, storage cell, parking area, as well as precise positioning of the lifting platform relative to pallets in the parking area and in storage cells in order to eliminate off-design dynamic loads on the pallet and, accordingly, the vehicle located on the pallet. It is also necessary to take measures to fix the car on the pallet in order to prevent the off-design movement of the car on the pallet when moving it inside the parking lot.

The aim of the invention is to eliminate these disadvantages and simplify the logistics of loading and unloading cars from the parking lot.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the parking lot, containing multi-tiered racks with cells for storing cars, a mounted manipulator with a lifting platform for moving cars, a parking area, each cell for storing a car is equipped with a retractable telescopic platform with a drive with located on it on both sides at a certain distance from each other by cantilever supports along the width of the car, the lifting platform of the mounted manipulator is made in the form of two opposite combs, the teeth of which are offset relative to the cantilever supports of the retractable platform in its extreme extended position, and the parking area is located in the projection of the mounted manipulator and is equipped with a track with transverse recesses for teeth of the combs of the lifting platform.

A comparative analysis of the essential features of the prototype and the proposed device shows that the distinguishing features of the proposal are those in accordance with which:

- cells for storing cars are equipped with a retractable telescopic platform with a drive located on it on both sides at some distance from each other cantilever supports along the width of the car;

- the lifting platform of the hinged manipulator is made in the form of two opposite combs, the teeth of which are displaced relative to the cantilever supports of the retractable platform in its extreme extended position;

- the parking area is located in the projection of the hinged manipulator and is equipped with a track with transverse recesses for the teeth of the combs of the lifting platform.

General view, front view and side view, multi-tiered automated parking is shown in Fig. 1. In FIG. 2 is a front and top view of a retractable telescopic platform mounted in a vehicle storage cell. In FIG. 3 the retractable telescopic platform is shown in the extended position. In FIG. 4 shows a parking area with a lifting platform made in the form of two opposed combs. In FIG. 5 shows a car entering a parking area, a similar view before exiting the parking area. In FIG. 6 shows a side view of a vehicle on a lifting platform, FIG. 7 is a view of the same car from behind, at the moment before lowering the car onto a retractable platform. A similar view takes place after removing the car from the retractable platform to the lifting platform.

Multilevel automated parking works as follows. If parking is required, the lifting platform pos.2 of the mounted manipulator pos. 1 should be in the down position in the parking area as shown in FIG. 1, fig. 4 and FIG. 5. The driver enters the parking area and leaves the car. Depending on the control system used, the driver himself or the parking operator gives the command to park the car. Mounted manipulator engine pos. 1 in FIG. 1 starts lifting the lifting platform pos. 2 in FIG. 1, while the teeth of the combs pick up the wheels of the parked car from below and raise it. Further mounted manipulator pos. 1 moves to the area of the selected cell for storing the car and raises the lifting platform pos. 2 with the car slightly higher than the retractable telescopic platform pos. 3 of this cell, as shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7. Retractable telescopic platform pos. 3 the drive pos.4 (fig. 2 and fig. 3) moves out of the cell to the extreme extended position, as shown in fig. 6, after which the lifting platform begins to lower, while the teeth of the combs pass between the cantilever supports of the retractable platform and the wheels of the car begin to rest on the cantilever supports of the retractable platform, and the teeth of the combs of the lifting platform are below the cantilever supports. After that, the retractable platform pos. 3 car-driven platform retracts into the storage cell. Parking is ready for any next operation: loading the car for parking or unloading the car after parking.

If it is necessary to park a car (or several cars in a row), the mounted manipulator lowers the lifting platform into the parking area and performs the operations described above.

If it is necessary to issue a car (or several cars in a row) from the parking lot, the mounted manipulator from any point in the parking lot brings the lifting platform to the desired cell slightly below the retractable platform. The retractable platform with the car is pulled out of the storage cell to the extreme position, after which the lifting platform, rising up, picks up the car with the teeth of the combs and removes it from the cantilever supports of the retractable platform (as shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7). After the teeth of the combs are above the cantilever supports of the retractable platform, the platform retracts into the storage cell with its drive, and the mounted manipulator delivers the car on the lifting platform to the parking area. The driver leaves the parking zone independently as from a garage box. Parking is ready for any necessary next operation: parking or issuing a car from the parking lot.

Proper choice of distances between the cantilever supports of the retractable platform and the teeth of the combs of the lifting platform ensures that the car is securely fixed on these devices during movement inside the parking lot.
