The moving rod 14 is provided with a clamping arm 12 through a cylinder 13, and the clamping arm 12 is parallel to the moving rod 14; the cylinder 13 is perpendicular to the clamping arm 12, and is capable of pushing the clamping arm 12 toward the middle of the bicycle clamping slot 11. After the two clamping arms 12 move toward each other, the bicycle is clamped to stand from both sides of the bicycle; one of the clamping arms 12 is provided at both ends thereof with two parallel protective plates perpendicular to the clamping arm 12, which is used to prevent the bicycle from being detached from the clamping arms 12 during the movement process of moving the bicycle from the bicycle clamping slot 11 to the storage space 9, or moving the bicycle from the storage space 9 to the bicycle clamping slot 11.
The clamping mechanism 8 includes a movable clamping plate 20 disposed on the opposite side of the longitudinal partitioning plate 22 in the storage space 9, and the clamping plate 20 is connected to the longitudinal partitioning plate 22 by at least two telescopic rods 21; the telescopic rod 21 may be horizontally extended to push the clamping plate 20 out, and the two clamping plates 20 are moved closer to each other to clamp the bicycle.
When the bicycle is transferred from the ferry parking space 3 to the storage space 9, the clamping plate 20 and the clamping arm 12 simultaneously clamp the bicycle, and the clamping plate 20 and the clamping arm 12 are staggered up and down without contact.
A top of the tower body 1 is provided with a top cover; the top arc transition segment of the loop track 2 is located above the top level of the central garage, and the bottom arc transition segment of the loop track 2 is located below the bottom level of the central garage.

The main controller is wirelessly connected to each on-off controller via Bluetooth, and the main controller is capable of wirelessly controlling each on-off controller and recording whether there is a bicycle in each storage space 9.
When the main controller does not receive any command, the ferry parking spaces 3 on each of the loop tracks 2 are sequentially arranged on one side of the loop track 2.
When someone clicks the storage button, the main controller receives a parking command and analyzes whether there is free storage space 9. If there is any free storage space 9, in the order from top to bottom, the main controller drives one ferry parking space 3 to climb to the apical plate 7. Subsequently, the user places the bicycle in the bicycle clamping slot 11, and clicks the storage button again after the bicycle is fixed, so that the main controller drives the ferry parking space 3 to move to a nearby free storage space 9 and displays a serial number of the storage space 9 on the display screen, which is remembered by the user.
When the pickup button is clicked, the main controller receives a pickup command, and the display and the numeric button are activated; the serial number of the storage space 9 is input to the main controller by clicking the numeric button, the number is displayed on the display, and the main controller drives the corresponding ferry parking space 3 to pick up the bicycle on the storage space 9.
The bicycle storing method of the intelligent storage compartment is as follows:
When it is necessary to park the bicycle, first, the bicycle is brought to the apical plate 7, and then, by clicking the storage button, the three-dimensional rotating intelligent storage compartment starts to initiate; determining whether the storage space 9 is free: the control system receives a parking demand on the apical plate 7, and finds whether there is a free storage space 9; if not, “the parking space is full” is displayed on the display screen; and if so, a free storage space 9 is selected while displaying the serial number of the storage space 9 on the display screen.
The uppermost one of the ferry parking spaces 3 in the corresponding loop track 2 of the storage space 9 is initiated, and the control system initiates the drive motor of the ferry parking space 3 to drive the gear of the ferry parking space 3 to rotate and crawl on the rack until the ferry parking space 3 runs above the apical plate 7 and bypasses the top arc transition segment of the loop track 2 for being flush with the apical plate 7 and stopping.
Each loop track 2 passes through the apical plate 7 twice. The apical plate 7 is provided with two channels 6 for the ferry parking space 3 to pass, wherein the track in one of the channels 6 is located directly in front of the storage space 9, and the channel 6 is provided with a sensor. When the ferry parking space 3 is located in the channel 6, the drive motor of the ferry parking space 3 is stopped to be parked in the channel 6, and the longitudinal straight segment of the loop track 2 corresponding to the other channel 6 is a standby waiting stop of the ferry parking space 3. When the ferry parking spaces 3 on the loop track 2 are on standby, they are sequentially stopped in the longitudinal straight segment. When there is a storage command, all the ferry parking spaces 3 are either clockwise or counterclockwise running on the loop track 2. When the topmost ferry parking space 3 starting to work, all other standby ferry parking spaces 3 move upwards to the corresponding height of the parking space, and are sequentially placed below the standby ferry parking spaces after the working ferry parking space completes the work.
The user stands outside the stable ferry parking space 3 and holds the bicycle to stand, then clicks the storage button to initiate the clamping arm 12; the clamping arm 12 moves close to each other until the bicycle is clamped; and when the user releases the hand, the bicycle may stand on its own in the bicycle clamping slot.
When the drive motor works, the ferry parking space 3 moves downwards to a designated storage space 9; then the drive works, the moving rod 14 is extended out to feed the bicycle into the storage space 9; and when the clamping arm 12 senses the bicycle, the clamping arms 12 are initiated to move toward each other to clamp the bicycle, and when the clamp arm 12 is retracted, the moving rod 14 is also moved back into the bicycle clamping slot 11.
The side walls on both sides of the storage space 9 are provided with a sensor, which may sense that a bicycle is moved to the storage space 9. When the sensor senses that there is a bicycle, the controller of the clamping arms 12 is actuated to move the clamping arms 12 toward each other until the two clamping arms 12 clamp and fix the bicycle from both sides.
The side surface of the clamping arm 12 facing the clamping arm 12 is provided with a sensor whose sensing section is a vertically upward or vertical downward area. When the sensor senses the clamping arms 12, indicating that the clamping arms 12 have clamped the bicycle, the sensor activates the clamping arms 12 to retract, and the moving rod 14 to retract.
After the clamping arm 12 is attached to the moving rod 14 and the moving rod 14 is completely retracted into the bicycle clamping slot 11, the ferry parking spaces 3 are arranged in sequence clockwise or counterclockwise below the other ferry parking spaces 3, and are parked in the longitudinal straight segment of the loop track 2 on the standby side.
The bicycle pickup methods are as follows:
When the pickup button is clicked, the serial number of the storage space 9 parked by the bicycle is input on the display screen, and the control system activates the lowest ferry parking space 3 in the loop track 2 corresponding to the storage space 9. At this time, the running direction of the ferry parking space 3 is opposite to that when the bicycle is stored. The ferry parking space 3 is moved to the corresponding storage space 9, and the moving rod 14 extends into the storage space 9; and when the moving rod 14 protrudes until the limiting block 15 abuts against the baffle, the moving rod 14 stops moving to activate the clamping arm 12, and the clamping arms 12 move toward each other until the sensor on the clamping arms 12 sense the clamping plate to activate the clamping plate to retract and to activate the moving rod 14 to retract. When the moving rod 14 is completely retracted into the bicycle clamping slot 11, the ferry parking space 3 is activated to rise until it is flush with the apical plate 7 for parking; after parking to be stable, the clamping arms 12 are retracted, and the user takes the bicycle away and clicks the pickup button again so that the ferry parking space 3 is activated to bypass the top arc segment of the loop track 2 and descend to the standby waiting point of the ferry parking space 3.
Both ends of the limiting block 15 are provided with a contact sensor. When the moving rod 14 stops moving forward, the contact sensor contacts the baffle, and the moving rod 14 stops moving. When the moving rod 14 is retracted into the bicycle parking slot, the moving rod 14 stops moving upon the contact sensor contacting the inner wall of the horizontal slot 16.
In the present invention, the bicycle is placed in the storage space 9, and the bicycle stands by the clamping mechanism 8, so that it' convenient for the ferry parking space 3 to pick up the bicycle.
The ferry parking space 3 moves in the loop track 2, so that the bicycle may be picked up and stored. There is a plurality of ferry parking spaces 3 in one loop track 2. When the tower body 1 is high and the number of storage spaces 9 is huge, a plurality of ferry parking spaces 3 work at the same time, shortening the waiting time of the user, and improving the efficiency of storing and picking up the bicycle.
The two longitudinal straight segments are connected by the top arc transition section and the bottom arc transition section to form a complete loop, so that the ferry parking space 3 may be periodically moved on the loop track 2 to prevent mutual collision and contact.
The provision of the bearings ensures that the opening of the bicycle clamping slot 11 is always oriented up by the weight of the bicycle clamping slot 11. When the connection driving portion 10 is moved to the top arc transition segment and the bottom arc transitional segment, the bicycle clamping slot 11 rotates around the bearing under its own weight, and the opening is always oriented up.
The gear moves on the rack to move the bicycle clamping slot 11. Each drive motor works independently.
The technical means disclosed in the present invention is not limited to the technical means disclosed above, and includes a technical solution composed of any combination of the above technical features.
In view of the above-described ideal embodiments of the present invention, through above description, various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention. The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents of the specification, and the technical scope thereof must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
In the present invention, sensors are provided in multiple places, are used to activate or stop the corresponding activities, and there is a linkage or feedback relationship between them to realize automatic interlocking action, so that in the underground with unmanned control, the operation of storing and picking up the bicycle is executed successively to achieve automatic control.
In the present invention, parking the bicycle into the three-dimensional bicycle tower saves the standing space, which can realize automatic storage and pickup, and is convenient to operate and saves time.
