The invention relates to a multi-layer parking system based on infrared control. The parking system comprises an installation table, a multi-layer lifting table, an infrared receiving device, a permission validation device and a connecting clamping base. The installation table is horizontally arranged on the ground and used for fixing the lifting tables. The multi-layer lifting table is arranged on the lower side of the installation table and used for descending into the installation table to place vehicles when receiving an unlocking control signal. The infrared receiving device is arranged on the side face of the topmost layer of the multi-layer lifting table and used for receiving the unlocking control signal or a locking control signal. The connecting clamping base is arranged on the upper side of the topmost layer of the multi-layer lifting table and used for installing a fixing mechanism. The infrared receiving device is connected with the permission validation device and used for authorizing a signal sent by an infrared remote control device only when receiving a validation passing signal. By means of the multi-layer parking system, a parking space can be effectively prevented from being occupied by other people.
