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.

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;
- the bicycle carrying platform comprises a front wheel-clamping structure, a rear wheel-clamping structure, and an electronic lock, the rear wheel-clamping structure comprising two restraining walls that restrain a rear bicycle tire from latitudinal movement and the electronic lock locking up the bicycle, wherein the two restraining walls are made of a magnetic material;
- a rotary platform that is rotatably disposed on the lifting mechanism, and is docked with the bicycle parking space, the rotary platform comprises 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 threaded through a threaded translation hole of 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 moving the push block, and wherein the push block comprises two mating groves that each receive a restraining wall, an electromagnet is embedded within each mating grove, wherein each electromagnet attracts the corresponding restraining wall and forms a detachable connection between interior sides of the mating grove and the restraining wall when powered on to form a detachable connection, the translation screw rotates to move the push block to pull the bicycle carrying platform onto the rotary platform;
- and
- wherein the bicycle carrying platform transfers between the bicycle parking space and the rotary platform.
