s30: the vehicle to be parked is parked in the corresponding parking space,

when the ground parking space is in an idle state, parking the vehicle into the ground parking space;

When the parking space is in the empty state, the double-deck parking apparatus 100 is rotated such that the double-deck parking apparatus 100 rotates around a supporting point of the pillar unit 10 to make the supporting plate 20 deviate from the ground parking space, the supporting plate 20 is lowered to be in contact with the ground through the transmission mechanism 30, a vehicle to be parked is driven into the parking space, the supporting plate 20 is raised through the transmission mechanism 30, and when the parking space is raised to have a corresponding reference distance from the ground parking space, the double-deck parking apparatus 100 rotates around the supporting point to restore the supporting plate 20 to a position opposite to the ground parking space.

by the above parking method, it is possible to conveniently park the vehicle on both the ground parking space of the double-deck parking apparatus 100 and the support plate 20; it should be noted that, because the double-deck parking apparatus 100 requires a large parking space when parking a parking space in the support plate, especially, the spaces on both sides of the parking space are large enough to facilitate the rotation of the double-deck parking apparatus 100, in order to avoid affecting the parking of vehicles on both sides of the parking space, when there is no vehicle on both sides of the parking space, the parking space can be parked in this way, when there is a vehicle on both sides and there is a vehicle to be parked on the support plate 20, the double-deck parking apparatus 100 can be moved to an open position by the guide wheels 40, the support plate 20 is lowered by the transmission mechanism 30 to complete the parking and then is raised to a corresponding reference distance, and then the double-deck parking apparatus 100 is moved to the.

The above description is intended to be illustrative of the present invention and not to limit the scope of the invention, which is defined by the claims appended hereto.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various features of the various embodiments of the invention described hereinabove may be omitted, added to, or combined in any manner, respectively. Moreover, simple modifications and structural modifications that are adaptive and functional to those skilled in the art are within the scope of the present invention.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to various embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
