Abstract

For parking a bicycle, a bicycle parking device includes a storage tray, a lifting mechanism, and a rotary platform. The storage tray is located at the bottom of the bicycle parking device, and has a plurality of bicycle parking spaces. The lifting mechanism drives a bicycle carrying platform to move up and down. The rotary platform that is rotatably disposed on the lifting mechanism, and is docked with the bicycle parking space. The bicycle carrying platform transfers between the bicycle parking space and the rotary platform

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A bicycle parking device, including:
a storage tray located at the bottom of the bicycle parking device, and has a plurality of bicycle parking spaces; a lifting mechanism that drives a bicycle carrying platform to move up and down; a rotary platform that is rotatably disposed on the lifting mechanism, and is docked with the bicycle parking space; and wherein the bicycle carrying platform transfers between the bicycle parking space and the rotary platform.

2 . The bicycle parking device of claim 1 , wherein the bicycle carrying platform has an electric lock that locks up the bike, the electric lock is connected to a controller, the controller detects the state of the electronic lock and user data, the controller comprises a wireless transmission module, the wireless transmission module sends data to the background, and the background calculates billable hours based on the data.

3 . The bicycle parking device of claim 2 , wherein the lifting mechanism includes a first lifting screw, a second lifting screw and a lifting platform, the first lifting screw and the second lifting screw are vertical set, both sides of the lifting platform respectively match up the first lifting screw and the second lifting screw, and in response to the first lifting screw and the second lifting screw rotating, the first lifting screw and the second lifting screw drive the lifting platform up and down.

4 . The bicycle parking device of claim 2 , wherein a central part of the storage tray has an installation position, and the lifting mechanism is set at the installation position, and the lifting channel of the lifting mechanism is formed in the vertical direction of the installation position.

5 . The bicycle parking device of claim 2 , wherein the guide limit rail forms the bicycle parking space, the guide limit rail guides the bicycle carrying platform in and out and limits the bicycle carrying platform.

6 . The bicycle parking device of claim 2 , wherein the rotary platform includes a rotating plate, a translation screw, a push block, a supporting plate and a guide board, wherein the translation screw, the push block and the supporting plate are installed on the rotating plate, the translation screw is set through the push block, the guide board is set on the both sides of the rotating plate, the supporting plate coordinates with the bicycle carrying platform, the supporting plate is attached to the guide board, and is located at the both sides of the push block, and the translation screw rotates, so that the push block moves and the push bicycle carrying platform moves.

7 . The bicycle parking device of claim 6 , wherein the push block and the bicycle carrying platform are detachably connected, the push block sets an electromagnet, the electromagnet attracts the bicycle carrying platform in response to being powered on, and the contact parts of bicycle carrying platform and push block are made of magnetic materials.

8 . The bicycle parking device of claim 7 , wherein bicycle carrying platform comprises a bicycle placement plate, a front wheel clamping structure and a rear wheel clamping structure, and wherein the front wheel clamping structure and the rear wheel clamping structure are set in the bicycles placed plate.

9 . The bicycle parking device of claim 7 , wherein the storage tray is disk-shaped, and the bicycle parking space is distributed along the radial direction of the storage tray.

10 . The bicycle parking device of claim 7 , wherein in response to a user wanting to park bicycle, the vacant bicycle carrying platform is placed on the rotary platform, the lifting mechanism is raised to the ground, the bicycle is placed on the bicycle carrying platform, the bicycle carrying platform carrying the bicycle is lowered to the storage tray by the lifting mechanism, the rotary platform is rotated to dock with the corresponding vacant bicycle parking space, and the bicycle carrying platform on the rotary platform is pushed into the bicycle parking space, and wherein in response to a user taking a bicycle, the bicycle carrying platform carrying the bicycle is brought into the rotary platform, and the bicycle is transported to the ground by the lifting mechanism.

11 . A system comprising:
a controller; a storage tray located at the bottom of the bicycle parking device, and has a plurality of bicycle parking spaces; a lifting mechanism that drives a bicycle carrying platform to move up and down; a rotary platform that is rotatably disposed on the lifting mechanism, and is docked with the bicycle parking space; and wherein the bicycle carrying platform transfers between the bicycle parking space and the rotary platform as directed by the controller.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the bicycle carrying platform has an electric lock that locks up the bike, the electric lock is connected to the controller, the controller detects the state of the electronic lock and user data, the controller comprises a wireless transmission module, the wireless transmission module sends data to the background, and the background calculates billable hours based on the data.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the lifting mechanism includes a first lifting screw, a second lifting screw and a lifting platform, the first lifting screw and the second lifting screw are vertical set, both sides of the lifting platform respectively match up the first lifting screw and the second lifting screw, and in response to the first lifting screw and the second lifting screw rotating, the first lifting screw and the second lifting screw drive the lifting platform up and down.

14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein a central part of the storage tray has an installation position, and the lifting mechanism is set at the installation position, and the lifting channel of the lifting mechanism is formed in the vertical direction of the installation position.

15 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the guide limit rail forms the bicycle parking space, the guide limit rail guides the bicycle carrying platform in and out and limits the bicycle carrying platform.

16 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the rotary platform includes a rotating plate, a translation screw, a push block, a supporting plate and a guide board, wherein the translation screw, the push block and the supporting plate are installed on the rotating plate, the translation screw is set through the push block, the guide board is set on the both sides of the rotating plate, the supporting plate coordinates with the bicycle carrying platform, the supporting plate is attached to the guide board, and is located at the both sides of the push block, and the translation screw rotates, so that the push block moves and the push bicycle carrying platform moves.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the push block and the bicycle carrying platform are detachably connected, the push block sets an electromagnet, the electromagnet attracts the bicycle carrying platform in response to being powered on, and the contact parts of bicycle carrying platform and push block are made of magnetic materials.
