Abstract
A parking tower includes a number of layers, one or more parking units formed in each of the layers, an elevator movable up and down to each of the layers, a lateral movement device slidably supported on the elevator, a longitudinal movement device slidably supported on the lateral movement device, a rotating device rotatably supported on the longitudinal movement device, and a frame disposed on the rotating device and rotated by the rotating device. A carrier is moved and rotated by the lateral movement device, the longitudinal movement device, and the rotating device in order to align with the parking units.
Claims6
A parking tower comprising a plurality layers each having at least one parking unit provided therein, a first driving means and a plurality of first rolling means disposed in said parking unit, an elevator movable up and down to each of said layers and including a longitudinal direction and a lateral direction perpendicular with each other, a first movement means slidably supported on said elevator and movable along said lateral direction of said elevator, a second movement means slidably supported on said first movement means and movable along said longitudinal direction of said elevator, a rotating means rotatably supported on said second movement means, a frame disposed on said rotating means and rotated by said rotating means, a second driving means and a plurality of second rolling means disposed in said frame, and a carrier slidably supported on said first and second rolling means and engaged with either of said driving means, said carrier being moved along said lateral direction of said elevator by said first movement means and being moved along said longitudinal direction of said elevator by said second movement means, and said carrier being rotated by said rotating means, whereby, said carrier is caused to move between said parking units and said elevator by said first and said second driving means.
