Abstract
The present invention relates to a vehicles parking in multiple levels (1), which comprises a parking box (2); a base structure (3) and a lifting system (4); allowing the storing of vehicles in different levels in relation to the ground level, optimizing the use of the space; and to a method for managing maneuvering consisting of a system for optimizing the parking space and the vehicles parking in multiple levels (1).
Claims12
A multiple level parking for vehicles comprising:
- a plurality of parking boxes (2), wherein each parking box comprises:
- a pair of horizontal bases (5), configured to receive wheels of a vehicle;
- a pair of horizontal beams (6), wherein ends of said pair of horizontal bases (5) are perpendicularly coupled to said pair of horizontal beams (6);
- tracks (10) provided below said horizontal beams (6) allowing horizontal movement of the parking box (2);
- a plurality of vertical columns (7), each positioned at ends of said pair of horizontal beams (6),
- wherein an engaging structure (8) is provided at an upper end of each vertical column of said plurality of vertical columns (7);
- a plurality of base structures (3), wherein each base structures comprises:
- a plurality of horizontal fixed beams (11) forming a framework;
- a plurality of vertical columns (12) supporting at their upper ends said framework, wherein said plurality of vertical columns (12) are secured to the ground;
- two movable beams (13) positioned on top of said framework and being configured to move into an open position allowing vertical passage of a parking box (2) and to move into a close position where said parking box (2) is supported on said base structure (3);
- tracks (14) located at a lower part of said base structure;
- at least one lifting system (4), wherein each lifting system (4) comprises:
- a lower framework (21) and rollers (22) rolling on tracks (23) provided on said lower framework (21) to allow lifting and lowering of an upper framework (27), wherein said lifting system (4) horizontally moves on said tracks (14).
10 more elements
A method for managing movement of vehicles on a multiple level parking, the method comprising:
- vertically moving down individual parking boxes (2) of a plurality of stacked parking boxes (2) into a first base structure (3) until a target parking box (2) supporting a target vehicle is moved into said first base structure (3);
- and horizontally moving in sequence to other base structures (3) positioned contiguous to said first base structure (3) any parking boxes (2) vertically moved down into said first base structure (3) prior to moving said target parking box (2) into said first base structure (3).
