Multi storied parking facilities with a ramp to drive the automobile to upper floors and retrieving is always not possible due high energy consumption of vehicle and requirement of additional drivable space in parking yard. Automatic multi-storey car parks are appearing as a solution to car-parking problem. However, the cost of the mechanical equipments added to the building cost overweight the advantages of such parking facilities. Also such parking equipment operated by hydraulic or cables on vertical direction to haul up and bring back to owner, consumes lot of energy, making these methods inevitably expensive.
More over the inclined conveyance method is having the advantage of pulling load instead of lifting it, to minimize energy required during haulage and initiating the motion. This method of automobiles parking comprises a multi storied building and an inclined hoist way. The elevator is driven along rails, carrying the automobile in the inclined hoist way by means of over head traction to desired parking floor.
This elevated parking lift having a hoist way, comprise of rails held on two structural beams at same inclination, connected with the building structure. Therefore the elevator travels along the rail track extending though multiple of parking floors between top most and the lowest parking floor including the loading station.
The hoist way takes shape of an inclined passage providing access for the elevator trolley to move on wheels inside the vacant passage on a pair of rails secured to a pair of structural beams supported by the building structure along the same inclination.
The elevator trolley constitutes a carriage frame running on wheels engaged with the rail track. The loading platform, of the elevator trolley held in horizontal position between two arms of carriage frame resting on a pair of inclined rails. The passage between two rail tracks accommodating the elevator trolley. The elevator trolley is maintained in position and controlled by cables secured to the upper end of the elevator trolley by traction pulley driven by overhead electrical motor.
The opening at any floor and the platform of the scissor car elevator trolley are constructed in such a way that, when the platform reaches any floor, this floor and the elevator platform creates a drive way for the hoisted automobile to drive in to the desired floor.
