Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a system for automatically picking up vehicles that have to be placed in appropriate parking areas situated in structures forming so-called automatic car parks.
- These automatic car parks, or tower garages, have multiple parking areas situated on a number of floors, extending above or below ground. In order to park a vehicle, it must initially be brought into a pick-up area, after which it will be picked up from said area and carried by the handling system to the floor where it is to be parked.
- Various mechanisms are currently in use for transferring a vehicle from the pick-up area to the parking area and vice versa. These mechanisms rely mainly on a system that employs flatbeds equipped with wheels onto which the vehicle must be loaded. These flatbeds are picked up by the handling system and carried to the established floor of the car park. This arrangement requires the use of two flatbeds so that the one occupied by the vehicle can be replaced by the empty one and vice versa, an operation that is slow and laborious and also has the drawback of the overall height given by the flatbed, a height which must be added to that of the vehicle itself.
- In another system, the vehicle is gripped and drawn onto a platform that is integral with the handling system, but in this case the vehicle must be in neutral gear, with the handbrake and steering wheel lock off and the wheels straight, conditions which make the system rather impractical.
- Another system is that of using racks on which the wheels of the vehicle are made to rest. In this case the handling system is equipped with a comb which enters beneath the racks, picks up the vehicle and sets it down on other racks. In this case too, the vehicle's wheels must be straight and a certain amount of space is needed to allow the vehicle to be lifted.
- The aim of the invention is to eliminate the above drawbacks, providing a mechanism that takes the vehicles on their wheels and moves them without any need for additional members such as flatbeds or racks and that also reduces the space required for handling to a few centimetres, allowing vehicles to be picked up even when they are in gear, with the handbrake and steering wheel lock on and the wheels turned.
- The mechanism consists of a telescopic system, comprising, for example, a set of frames placed one on top of the other, that can slide on one another and so make translational movements in a one direction in relation to each other. This mechanism allows the upper frame to leave the body of the lower frame and thus position itself beneath the vehicle to be picked up.
- For this purpose the upper frame will be of such a size that it can be brought beneath any vehicle and between the wheels thereof. The symmetry of the system allows movements to be made on the right and on the left.
- When the upper frame has moved beneath the vehicle it is possible first to bring out jaws supported by said frame from the frame itself, then to draw them up to the wheels of the vehicle and thus cause them to grip, making the vehicle integral with the frame.
- At this point it is sufficient for said frame to be raised a few centimetres to allow the vehicle to be moved from the pick-up area to the parking area and vice versa. The vehicle can be released by carrying out the pick-up operations in reverse.
- The lower frame will obviously have to be mounted on a handling system that is capable of transporting it to the pre-established parking area.
- It will readily be understood that the fact that the pick-up frame is inserted directly between the wheels of the vehicle rather than beneath the wheels and that the wheels themselves are gripped makes it possible to leave the car in gear and/or with the steering wheel lock on, the handbrake on and the wheels turned, at the same time saving space as regards the height of the parking areas, which is reflected in a considerable saving in the overall height of the entire tower garage since it consists of a plurality of floors.
- Further characteristics of the invention will be made clearer by the detailed description that follows, referring to a purely exemplary and therefore non-limiting embodiment of the invention, illustrated in the attached drawings in which:
- Figure 1
- is a side view of the telescopic assembly of the system according to the invention, comprising three frames which can slide in relation to each other;
- Figure 2
- is a plan view of the upper frame, equipped with jaws, that illustrates how these jaws can come out from the frame;
- Figure 3
- is a schematic illustration, in section along a plane parallel to the plane of figure 2, of a jaw inside its guide, together with the motor that allows it to be operated;
- Figure 4
- is a section along the line IV-IV of Figure 3, that illustrates in particular how a support that can slide inside a guide engages with the jaw.
- With reference to Figure 1 in particular, a
slide frame 1, integral with the handling system (not illustrated), supports agear wheel 10 that meshes with arack 8 fixed to anintermediate frame 2 that can move in relation to saidframe 1 thanks to guides or supporting wheels (not illustrated). - Positioned on said
intermediate frame 2 arepulleys 9 which, thanks to a pair ofcables 4, fixed at one end to saidframe 1 and at the other end to anupper frame 3, allow the latter to slide in relation to said intermediate frame and in the same direction of movement. A chain system can be used as an alternative to the cables. - This mechanism allows the
upper frame 3 to leave the body of theslide frame 1 and position itself between the wheels of any vehicle placed along the same axis as saidframe 1, theframe 3 being of a height (e.g. 10 cm) and width (e.g. 100 cm) that are smaller, respectively, than the space normally existing between the ground and the bottom of the vehicles and the width normally existing between one wheel and the other of the same axle. - Thanks to the symmetry of the system, the movements can be made to the left or to the right of the
frame 1. - With reference to figure 2 in particular, when the
upper frame 3 has been positioned beneath the vehicle by means of themotors 7, thejaws 6 are first brought out from theframe 3, by means of rotation, and then saidjaws 6 are drawn up to the wheels of the vehicle by travelling horizontally along the sides of theframe 3, making the vehicle integral with theframe 3. - At this point the
frame 1 and consequently theframes frame 1 on a system capable of moving it, the vehicle can be carried to its designated parking area and released there by carrying out the pick-up operations in reverse. - Figure 3 shows a section, along a plane parallel to the plane of the
frame 3, of a detail of one of saidjaws 6 inside aslide guide 5. In the resting position thejaw 6 is parallel to the longest side of theframe 3 and completely inside saidguide 5. - A
support 4, perpendicular to the plane of theframe 3 and engaging saidjaw 6 by means of apin 40, slides inside theguide 5. Amotor 7 operating aworm screw 11 which engages with afemale thread 20 provided in thesupport 4 at right angles to the axis of thejaw 6 imparts a horizontal translational movement to saidsupport 4, in the direction of saidworm screw 11. Starting from the resting position of thejaw 6, the translation of thesupport 4 causes firstly the extraction of thejaw 6 from theguide 5 and hence from theframe 3, thanks to the particular U-shape of thearea 12 of saidguide 5, initially due to the engagement of apivot 13 of the jaw with therear side wall 16 of theguide 5, and subsequently a translation of thejaw 6 parallel to the longest side of theframe 3, into its working position. Said jaws are thus brought up to the wheels of the vehicle. - In order to bring the
jaws 6 away from the wheels of the vehicle and thus allow its release, the direction of rotation of themotor 7 and thus of theworm screw 11 is reversed, causing translation of thesupport 4, and thus of thejaw 6, in the opposite direction to that used to bring thejaw 6 up to the wheel. By means of thepivot 13, which is conveniently cylindrical in shape, thejaw 6 strikes against a protrudingfront edge 14 of the U-shapedarea 12 of the guide 15 and is thus forced to rotate (in an anti-clockwise direction in figure 2) and move inside and parallel to theguide 5. - Figure 4, which is a section along the line IV-IV in figure 3, shows in greater detail the way in which said
support 4 engages with said jaw 6. Theguide 5 is box-shaped, with theside 14 projecting inwards, so that the latter forms a guide for thepivot 13. - In order to obtain equal opposite movements of the
jaws 6 of each pair, portions of thedriving worm screw 11 can , for example, be provided with opposite threads. Alternatively,distinct worm screws 11, driven byseparate motors 7, can be provided. It is also clear that instead of being driven by a screw and female thread with an electric motor, any other linear actuator could be provided, for example of a hydraulic or pneumatic type.
