The subject matter disclosed herein relates to public bicycle parking facilities and more particularly to bicycle parking devices.
Parking a bicycle requires a significant footprint.
A more particular description of the embodiments briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments that are illustrated in the appended drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only some embodiments and are not therefore to be considered to be limiting of scope, the embodiments will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings, in which:
China is the largest bicycle country in the world, with more than 450 million bicycles. Coupled with the increasing number of shared bicycles, the phenomenon of random parking is becoming more and more serious, which leads to local governments restricting the further release of shared bicycles. In the past, bicycles are parked mainly on the ground and in designated areas. The problem of difficult parking and random parking of bicycles has become a problem of urban development. On the one hand, green travel is advocated, while on the other hand, proper parking space cannot be created for bicycles. One of the most important reasons is that space location has not been used effectively. If space location can be used effectively, bicycle parking problems can be alleviated. However, the existing technology does not provide enough space for bicycles.
In view of this, the purpose of the invention is to provide an bicycle parking device to realize bicycle parking space, so as to alleviate the problem of bicycle parking difficulty.
The technical solution of the invention is to provide a bicycle parking device with the following structures, including:
The upper bracket, located on the upper part of the bicycle parking device, is used to install the rotating platform;
The gazebo cover fitted to the upper bracket;
Rotating platform that is arranged on the upper bracket and a fan-shaped notch is arranged on it;
The rotating column structure that is used to support the upper bracket, wherein at least one rotating column structure supports the rotating platform;
A lifting device is arranged in the rotating column structure; and a lifting device is installed in the lifting channel. The lifting device is detachably connected to the carrier frame used for carrying bicycles.
As an improvement, when the bike is stored, the rotary platform rotates a vacant carrier frame to its junction with the lifting device, which is connected with the vacant carrier frame. The second set of plates rotates and overlaps with the second set of plates to leave the vertical open door, and the empty carrier frame faces the vertical open door. The lifting device drives the vacant carrier frame downward. When descending the journey to the end, the bicycle to be parked is stored on the vacant carrier frame. The front and rear wheels of the bicycle to be parked are embedded in the front and rear wheel positioning slots respectively. The rotary platform rotates the gap on it to the lifting channel, and the lifting device drives the carrier frame containing the parked bicycle to the top of the rotating platform. The rotating platform rotates, and the empty parking area is rotated to the lifting passage. The lifting device descends to the rotating platform, disconnects the connection between the lifting device and the carrier frame, and the carrier frame is placed on the rotating platform.
As an improvement, when the bicycle is taken for use, the rotating platform rotates, and the carrier frame carrying the corresponding bicycle is rotated to the junction with the lifting device. The second set of plates rotates and superposes with the first set of plates to leave the vertical open door, and the carrier frame with the corresponding bicycle faces the vertical open door. The lifting device drives the carrier frame carrying the corresponding bicycle down, and when descending to the end of the journey, the bicycle is removed from the carrier frame carrying the corresponding bicycle, and the vacant carrier frame is moved to the rotating platform.
As an improvement, the rotating column structure includes the first set of plates and the second set of plates enclosed, wherein the first set of plates is fixed and installed, and the second set of plates can be rotated and installed; In the working state, the second set of plates rotates and overlaps with the second set of plates, so that the rotating column structure forms a vertical opening for the lifting of the carrier frame; In the non-working state, the second set of plates rotates and dislocates with the first set of plates, so that the first set of plates and the second set of plates surround the synthetic cylinder.
As an improvement, the lifting device includes lifting screw rod, lifting guide rail and lifting nut. The lifting guide rail is vertically arranged in the lifting channel, and the lifting nut can be glibly connected to the lifting guide rail, and the lifting screw rod is screwed into the lifting nut. The lifting screw rod rotates to drive the lifting nut to move up and down along the lifting guide rail; The carrier frame is detachably connected with the lifting nut.
As an improvement, the lifting nut is connected with an electromagnet fixing plate, and the electromagnet fixing plate is connected with an electromagnet, and the carrier frame is provided with a magnetic or iron backplate. The connection and release of the electromagnet with the back plate of the carrier frame are realized by power-on and power-off of the electromagnet.
As an improvement, the outer part of the second set of plates is provided with an arc gear ring, which meshes with the first driving wheel. The first gear is driven by the first motor to drive the arc gear ring to drive the second set of plates to rotate.
As an improvement, the rotary platform is provided with a second motor, a second driving wheel and a platform center wheel. The second motor is connected with the second driving wheel, and the second driving wheel engages with the platform center wheel.
As an improvement, the carrier frame includes a bottom plate and a back plate, and the front wheel positioning groove and the rear wheel positioning groove are arranged on the bottom plate, and reinforcing plates are arranged on both sides of the connection between the bottom plate and the back plate.
As an improvement, the rotary platform is provided with a plurality of locating pins, and the bottom plate of the carrier frame is provided with locating pin holes for inserting the locating pins.
Compared with the prior art, the structure of the invention has the following advantages: Through the invention, the gazebo is transformed, and the platform on the gazebo is used as the platform for parking bicycles. The gazebo's column is converted into a lifting channel, so that the lifting of bicycles can be completed through automatic machinery, which reduces the occupation of ground space, improves the utilization rate of space, and alleviates the problem of difficult parking of bicycles in cities.

As shown in
The lifting device 8 is driven by the lifting motor 7-1, which drives the tensioning wheel 7-5 to rotate. The lifting belt 7-2 is set on the tensioning wheel 7-5. The lifting belt 7-2 drives the lifting screw 8-5 to rotate, so that the lifting nut 8-4 can be lifted, and the electromagnet 8-2 on the lifting nut 8-4 can adsorb and loosen the carrier frame 6, so that the carrier frame 6 can be lifted, and the rotating platform 2-1 can cooperate with the carrier frame 6.
The shape of carrier frame 6 is the same as the notch shape of rotating platform 2-1, so carrier frame 6 can pass through the notch of rotation platform 2-1. When the carrier frame 6 is higher than the rotating platform 2-1, so that an empty car position on the rotating platform 2-1 reaches directly below the carrier frame 6, the electromagnet power is cut off, and the carrier frame 6 drops to the rotating platform 2-1.
Multiple racks 6 (bikes may or may not be parked on racks 6) are placed on the rotating platform 2-1. Detailed action breakdown is as follows:
If one needs to take the rack 6 from the rotating platform 2-1, complete the following actions: The first motor works 4-5 to rotate the vertical open door 4-8 of the second set of plates 4-2 to the working (open) position. The lifting motor 7-1 motivates the lifting nut 8-4 rise to the set position. The rotating platform 2-1 is rotated so that the carrier frame 6 for the bicycle 5 to be collected is rotated to the gap facing the second set of plates 4-2; The electromagnet 8-2 will be electrified and the carrier frame 6 will be engaged. The lifting nut 8-4 will engage the carrier frame 6 and then continue to raise the set height (about the height of a bicycle, higher than all carrier frames 6 and the highest bicycle height on the rotating platform 2-1). The rotating platform 2-1 rotates and makes the gap on rotating platform 2-1 reach directly below the vehicle 6 to be taken. At this time, the lifting motor 7-1 motivates the lifting nut 8-4, so that the carrier frame 6 is dropped down to the ground, completing the pick-up action. The second set of plates 4-2 may be rotated to open the rotating column structure 4.
The action mentioned above is reversed when storing bicycles 5. The empty frame 6 is motivated to the ground. The person places the bicycle 5 on the frame 6, then the frame 6 rises to the set position, and the rotating platform 2-1 rotates, so that the empty space on the rotating platform 2-1 is positioned below the frame 6, and the frame 6 is lowered to the rotating platform 2-1. The electromagnet 8-2 is powered off and the storage operation is completed.
When the bicycle 5 is not accessed, the carrier frame 6 can also rise to the level of the fan-shaped notch 2-7 with the rotating platform 2-1. Looking up from the bottom of the bicycle parking device 1-7, the carrier frame 6 and the rotating platform 2-1 are closed to form a complete disc. The shape of carrier frame 6 coincides with the fan-shaped notch 2-7 of rotating platform 2-1. There is a gap between rotating platform 2-1 and lower support frame 1-2, which does not affect the normal lift of electromagnet 8-2.
The driving motors are stepper motors, and the position can be precisely controlled. At the same time, various position sensors are added to ensure accurate transmission time and position control. For beauty's sake, the multiple columns 4/1-1 of the gazebo may be designed to look the same. A touch screen and/or LCD advertising may be disposed on the columns 4/1-1.
Each motor and driving mechanism of the invention is controlled by a controller, and corresponding sensors are set for detecting position, stroke and other information.
Although the embodiments are described and elaborated separately above, some common technologies are involved, and it seems to ordinary technicians in the field that they can be replaced and integrated between embodiments, referring to another embodiments that are not explicitly documented in one of the embodiments.
The better embodiments of the present invention are described above, but cannot be understood as restrictions on claims. The invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and its specific structure allows for changes. In short, all changes made within the scope of the protection of the independent claims of the invention are within the scope of the protection of the invention.
